South Australia (10/12) vs New South Wales (10/13)m
Adelaide Oval -
16th-22nd December 1892
Second Innings
New South Wales returned to the crease with a lead of 84 and momentum on their side after an obliterating attack on South Australia. Again, SP Jones and AC Bannerman opened for NWS, but once more hit some early trouble as Jones (18) and H Moses (0) fell to the bowling of E Jones, putting NWS on 31-2.
New South Wales would rally, going into the fourth day 165-3 after A Jarvis got AC Bannerman to edge one to the keeper, but this would only let SE Gregory and H Donnango to work. Early in the morning session, Donnan would fall for 44 thanks to the bowling of GT Parkin, who also took FA Iredale for a duck, but Gregory would keep on going with the score at 176-5.
ST Callaway would walk off for 15 as Parkin took his third for 209-6, but SE Gregory went on to reach his century, eventually falling at slip off JJ Lyons. NSW were on 225-7; a lead of 309 runs.
GJ Youill would remain in for the rest of the innings, compiling 75 runs in the process. His partners would falter, however, and AL Newell (6) fell at the bowling of G Giffen only matching his first innings score. Youill would not give in when M Pierce couldn't match his well-earned half-century from the first innings, going for 9, bowled by A Jarvis, as I Wales stood tall with Youill for a final wicket partnership of 70. Wales was the final man to drop when Giffen put him away for 22, and NSW finished 336- all out; a lead of 420 runs.
Best Batsmen: SE Gregory 102; GJ Youill 75*
Best Bowlers: GT Parkin 3-26; E Jones 2-84
---
With a target of 421 to win the game, South Australia had to find a way of coping better with the New South Wales attack, and they started brightly, reaching 56 before losing their first wicket. AH Jarvis was gone for 25, L.B.W. off M Pierce, and when A Wilkinson went the same way off SP Jones for 20, things were threatening to come apart for SA, standing as they were on 97-2 shortly after lunch on day five.
JJ Lyons had other ideas as he stood resolute, even when G Giffen was bowled by FA Iredale for 28. Lyons wouldn't fall to ST Callaway's bowling until he had reached 131, and put South Australia 140 runs off their target with six wickets remaining.
And that, as they say, is pretty much that, as the electric play of both JC Reedman's 85 (c gully, b Callaway), and A Hill's 82-unbeaten, was enough to put them well towards their goal into the sixth day, with another 43-unbeaten from A Jarvis.
Best Batting: JJ Lyons 131; JC Reedman 85; A Hill 82*
Best Bowling: ST Callway 2-114; FA Iredale 1-34
South Australia won by five wickets
