First Innings
Victoria won the toos and put some early pressure on the home side in this title decider as only A Jarvis looked like a wicket-taker on a slightly bowling pitch. The visitors put up 124 runs before losing their first wickets.
VIC 367
CE McLeod 76; J Harry 68; FH Walters 65; JH Stuckey 55
A Jarvis 5-103
South Australia managed a good reply, mostly thanks to Reedman's grand score, but still trailed going into the second innings.
VIC 367
SA 331
JC Reedman 130; A Jarvis 93; J Darling 56
CE McLeod 3-91; GHS Trott 3-93
Second Innings
Victoria would then throw away their chance of sealing a second tiitle as they left South Australia needing 154 runs to win, but if SA could bowl this well there was hope for Victoria.
VIC 367 + 117
SA 331
PM Lewis 39
G Giffen 4-43; E Jones 2-15; A Jarvis 2-27
South Australia lost Lyons straight away, and fellow opener Noel was not far behind. Some in the crowd thought a Victoria-like collapse when the goal was in sight could happen as the scor was 143-6, but South Australia found the 11 runs needed to win the Sheffield Shield!
VIC 367 + 117
SA 331 + 154-6
G Giffen 53
CE McLeod 4-51
Final standings
South Australia 3 - 1
Victoria 2 - 2
New South Wales 1 - 3
