First Innings
On a tough wicket for the batsmen, Victoria were held for just over two-hundred all out on day one. The fielders were kept on their toes for most of the wickets, while the bowlers had the ball swinging well.
VIC 206
WW Armstrong 51
WP Howell 4-49
The reply from New South Wales was enough to give them a chance to finish all their matches this season by an innings. The wickets fell consistently enough, but a stubborn eighth man kept things chugging along.
VIC 206
NSW 396
RA Duff 114; SE Gregory 50
JF Giller 3-56; WW Armstrong 3-129
Second Innings
A much better start was let down by the still-struggling lower order, but they did enough to force their opponents to return to the crease.
VIC 206 + 217
NSW 396
W Carkeek 54
A Cotter 3-44; AJY Hopkins 3-49
New South Wales took it nice and slow, using up fourteen overs to put up the winnings runs and win their sixth straight Sheffield Shield title.
