Peter Nevill's starring role with the bat in Adelaide could earn him a promotion to No.6 for Australia's first Test against the West Indies.
Nigel Llong's controversial Decision Review System (DRS) decision helped Australia's tail wag on day two of the day-night Test.
Steve Smith's men would have been 9-118 if Long ruled Nathan Lyon was out but instead they finished all out for 224.
It was a turning point in the hosts' three-wicket win.
But Nevill's knock of 66 was just as decisive in changing the course of a match in which runs were at a premium.
Never before has a batsman top-scored in an Adelaide Oval Test with such a low figure.
Darren Lehmann has previously floated the prospect of Nevill batting a spot higher in the order.
Lehmann did so again after his side's triumph, while also failing to guarantee allrounder Mitch Marsh's place in the side.
"I know the captain's talked about that maybe for the next Test against the West Indies," Lehmann told ABC Radio.
"Depending on the make-up of the side and whether Mitch Marsh stays in or whatever the selection is there."
Lehmann noted Nevill had some tough acts to follow but the 30-year-old was starting to build confidence after seven Tests.
"I was really pleased with Nev's performance in this game, under pressure obviously with the tail," he said.
"That's what you expect from a keeper after taking over from a couple of greats of the game.
"Peter Nevill's record in first-class cricket is fantastic. He's a great technician.
"He doesn't have the power or dynamic of (Brad) Haddin and (Adam) Gilchrist but what he does do is play the situation really well."
Chairman of selectors Rod Marsh will meet with Lehmann on Monday, settling on a squad for the Test against the West Indies that starts on December 10.
James Pattinson is set to replace injured spearhead Mitchell Starc in the attack, while another paceman will also be added to the squad.
