First Innings
The defending champs won the toss and put themselves into bat on a very friendly batting pitch that would favour the batsmen throughout.
An electric start would see NSW 181 before Iredale was caught at square leg for 79, and another fifty-runs were on the board before Mackenzie was out for 133. The runs kept on coming and, while South Australia looked to finally have a breakthrough, taking Gregory (29), Donnan (71), and Kelly (0) at the 339 mark, NSW were not to be stopped until they decided to declare at 585-8!
NSW: 585-8
ACK Mackenzie 133; MA Noble 128*
JPF Travers 3-84
In reply South Australia managed a lightweight 215 all out and were quickly made to follow-on.
NSW 585-8
SA 215
JJ Lyons 70
TR McKibben 4-65; CTB Turner 2-35
Second Innings
A much better performance, led again by Lyons, saw NSW step out again to bat, but it looked a foregone conclusion.
NSW 585-8
SA 215 + 421
JJ Lyons 118; BT Bailey 114; A Jarvis 83
CTB Turner 4-95; A Coningham 3-86
It took twenty overs for the visitors to rack up the 52 runs needed to score, losing a pair of wickets in the process against a desperate bowling attack.
NSW 585-8 + 52-2
SA 215 + 421
H Donnan 17*; FA Iredale 14 (ret. inj.)
E Jones 1-25
New South Wales win by eight wickets.
