VIC 379

GHS Trott 145; CE McLeod 144
WA Richardson 4-74; WP Howell 4-78

VIC 379
NSW 311

FA Iredale 126
RW McLeod 5-64

Second Innings

With a sixty-eight run lead Victoria wanted to put NSW to the sword, but some good bowling saw them fall almost one-hundred runs short of their first innings' total.

NSW 311

GHS Trott 85; FJ Laver 59
TR McKibbin 5-76; CTB Turner 3-65
