Dunell captained South Africa on his first-class and Test debut (the 1888-89 Port Elizabeth Test is now considered to be the first first-class match ever played in South Africa, which is why so many players from that match appear on this list). du Toit, Frank, McMaster, Richards and Stewart played only one first-class match, a Test, while Coventry, Grieve, Hutchinson and Willoughby played two (both Tests).
