5 Australian cricketers with the highest score on a Test debut

#2 Kepler Wessels- 162 vs England at Brisbane, 1982

Kepler Wessels played international cricket for both Australia and South Africa

The first man to play ODI cricket for two different international teams- Australia and South Africa- Kepler Wessels moved to Australia due to the ban enforced by the ICC on South Africa due to apartheid, joining hands with Kerry Packer's World Cricket Series.

By virtue of his appearances for Queensland, Wessels qualified for representing Australia officially and was selected for the second Test of the 1982/83 Ashes series against England at Brisbane where he scored a majestic 162 to guide his adopted country to a seven-wicket win that helped the hosts take a 1-0 lead in the series.

Wessels carried on with his Man-of-the-Match winning performance in his debut Test throughout the series, finishing with 386 runs at an average of 48.25.

Wessels played 40 Tests and 109 ODIs in total for both Australia and his native South Africa combined, including captaining the latter in their first World Cup in 1992.
