First Innings
Victoria won the toss and chose to take advantage of a solid wicket. The home side put on a masterclass, led as they were by the opening partnership of PA McAlister and W Bruce (165), with WW Armstrong joining the former for another good partnership (129). Victoria had their foot down almost the whole way, and declared soon after lunch on day two, looking to keep South Australia at bay.
VIC 588-7 dec.
PA McAlister 160; WW Armstrong 160; M Ellis 92*; W Bruce 80
RBC Rees 164-3
South Australia's reply was rather sporadic and came well short of avoiding the follow-on that Victoria imposed upon them as the hosts bowled well.
