First Innings
It was a one-man show for Victoria as FJ Laver entered with the score 164-4, and would not leave. But would Victoria's declaration be a poor choice on the second day?
VIC 509-7 dec
FJ Laver 231*; SA McMichael 69; PA McAlister 61; H Trumble 52
JPF Travers 4-130
A brave attempt by South Australia saw them pass the 450-mark, but a lack of stability in the middle order was the difference in getting closer.
VIC 509-7 dec
SA 454
G Giffen 155; FT Hack 101; WP Stuart 75
JV Saunders 4-102; FJ Laver 3-100
Second Innings
A dominating start soon petered out to give South Australia a chance on an increasingly degraded pitch.
VIC 509-7 dec + 381
SA 454
J Worrall 92; PA McAlister 83; H Graham 56; JH Stuckey 53
A Jarvis 4068; JC Reedman 3-78
This time, the openers were the ones who failed to get out of the gate as South Australia come oh so close to winning the match.
VIC 509-7 dec + 381
SA 454 + 422
G Giffen 104; C Hill 69; WP Stuart 63; E Jones 54*; A Jarvis 54
H Trumble 5-110; FJ Laver 3-89
Victoria wins by 14 runs
