First Innings
Victoria had to rely on a pair of good performances to take them on to a good score, while no-one had obviously told New South Wales that the pitch was favourable to the batsmen as the visitors often looked dangerous..
VIC 366
TS Warne 109; PA McAlister 77
A McBeath 5-79; WP Howell 3-111
It was the second and third batsmen again who took control, but a terrific seventh wicket partnership put New South Wales into pole position.
VIC 366
NSW 486
MA Noble 117; LW Pye 93; N Ebsworth 91; VT Trumper 77
JV Saunders 4-110; WW Armstrong 3-106
Second Innings
It was an uphill battle all the way but Victoria did as well as they could to give themselves a fighting chance. Only three batsmen hit over 18 runs as the bowlers found their stride once more.
VIC 366 + 241
NSW 486
FJ Laver 89
MA Noble 4-58; LW Pye 3-38; A McBeath 3-72

Vic 366 + 241
NSW 486 + 122-1
MA Noble 59*; RA Duff 57*
