SA 229
JH Pellew 89*; WJ Whitty 72
MA Noble 6-45

Despite the tough pitch, New South Wales would have expected a little better. The man at mid wicket had to be alert as he took three catches, the final being a real corker. There was only a single duck, and indeed single digit score, in the innnings; South Australia had five victims walk back without any runs.

NSW 429
A Cotter 115; EF Waddy 79
AW Wright 5-116

Second Innings
With the pitch at it's worst New South Wales enforced the follow on and should have had the game won in timely fashion, but instead a moral victory for the South Australians saw them make it past the 200-mark once again. There were no stand out batsmen, but only the tailenders failed to reach double figures.

SA 229 + 212
NSW 429
JH Pellew 37
MA Noble 3-35; C Kelleway 3-36

The third win for NSW was a mere formality.


SA 229 + 212
NSW 429 + 13-0
W Bardsley 7*; CG Macartney 6*
AW Wright 0-6

New South Wales wins by ten wickets.
