Charles Bannerman of Australia set a number of records in that match. He faced the first ball in test cricket, scored the first run, the first four and the first century. He scored 165 not out in Australia’s 245 all out. Of all the records he set in that match one record still holds – his 165 constituted 67.34% of Australia’s total (245) – the highest percentage by a batsman in a completed test innings.

Top answer, senorita! Charles Bannerman didn't have much of a Test career but will always be the first man to do, well, a lot in Test cricket, as you mentioned. He also had a brother, Alec, who was a notorious 'stonewaller' (defensive batsman).
