SOME OF THE REMARKABLE STATISTICS TO COME OUT OF AUSTRALIA'S 333-RUN FIRST-TEST WIN AGAINST INDIA IN PUNE
JUST HOW SPECIAL WAS STEVE O'KEEFE'S MATCH HAUL OF 12-70?
* It was statistically the best performance by an Australian bowler in India, a record Alan Davidson had held since taking 12-124 in 1959 in Kanpur
* It was statistically the best performance by a visiting spin bowler in India and one wicket short of the best performance by a visiting bowler, Ian Botham's 13-106 in 1980 in Mumbai
* O'Keefe had played four Tests prior to his career-defining match, taking 14 wickets at 32.78. His bowling average is now 20.34
JUST HOW RARE WAS INDIA'S INCOMPOTENT BATTING?
* The hosts lost 7-11 in their first innings. They have never suffered a seven-wicket collapse for so few runs
* India's combined total of runs (212) was their lowest ever in a home Test
* India's first-innings total of 105 was their second lowest ever at home against Australia
WHAT ELSE?
* O'Keefe and Nathan Lyon shared all 10 wickets to fall in India's second innings. Two spinners haven't taken all 10 wickets for Australia since Shane Warne and Tim May at Edgbaston in 1993.
