First Innings


South Australia once again open up at the crease, but this time through their own choosing on the coin toss. A very impressive start upon a slightly bowler-friendly pitch was soon undone as SA barely made it into a second day after enjoying a score of 224-2.



SA 298


JJ Lyons 101; J Darling 57; C Hill 54
LW Pye 3-52; WP Howell 3-93


A stunning reply, lasting the best part of two days, saw NSW surge into pole position.


SA 298
NSW 444


LA Pye 151; SE Gregory 63; VT Trumper 55; JJ Kelly 55
E Jones 4-121


Second Innings


New South Wales couldn't take advantage of their lead and would have to battle a South Australian attack of an increasingly degraded pitch in order to win.


SA 298 + 359
NSW 444


J Darling 114; AE Evans 61*; E Jones 52
WP Howell 4-88; LW Pye 3-89


A ferocious start had NSW scrambling at 36-4, but a partnership of 97 (FA Iredale + VT Trumper) was able to steady the ship just enough to take victory.


SA 298 + 359
NSW 444 + 214-8


FA Iredale 62
E Jones 4-60; G Giffen 4-66


New South Wales wins by two wickets
