First Innings
A confident New South Wales side elected to put their opponents in to bat first and, after a promising start, the South Australians couldn't keep their momentum going. The first wicket fell with 93 runs on the scoreboard, and only a sixth wicket partnership of 68 kept the bowlers at bay for a significant length of time.

SA 250
ER Mayne 61
MA Noble 4-57; CG Macartney 3-66

The reply was brutal as NSW passed the home side' total with seven wickets remaining. Partnerships of 99 and 135 were the real highlights, both of which were thanks in no small part to EF Waddy's impressive score.

SA 150
NSW 583
EF Waddy 183; JC Barnes 66; AJY Hopkins 63; SE Gregory 61; EL Waddy 52
JDA O'Connor 4-155; WJ Whitty 3-129

Second Innings
Only JDA O'Connor stood tall as South Australia had an otherwise nasty collapse to lose their second match as his final wicket partnership with DRA Gehrs (30*) lasted 81 runs.

SA 150 + 191
NSW 583
JDA O'Connor 83
AJY Hopkins 6-67

New South Wales wins by an innings and one hundred and forty two runs.
