First Innings
South Australia were put in to bat first and, despite a pair of minor blips, they performed admirably right down to the tailenders. Victoria's fielding was sharp with seven catches, but chances were too few and far between for their liking. At least the pitch would remain solid for batting for their first trips to the crease.
SA 491
N Claxton 101; ER Mayne 93; WA Hewer 78
JV Saunders 4-109; GR Hazlitt 4-133
Unfortunately for the visitors the South Australian bowlers found a way to deal with a batting-friendly pitch as they kept Victoria on the back foot for twenty-four hours giving themselves a big advantage.
SA 491
VIC 289
DBM Smith 77; J Ainslie 60; JF Horan 53
RBC Rees 4-75; WA Hewer 3-23
Second Innings
South Australia elected to not enforce the follow-on, but instead build up a tougher total for them to see out. Declaring at lunch on day three, S Hill could feel just slightly aggrieved as his innings ended on 49*
SA 491 + 312-6 dec.
VIC 289
ER Mayne 88; C Hill 68;
JV Saunders 3-89
It was always going to be a mountain to climb and Victoria were only able to reach halfway before succumbing to the inevitable.
SA 491 + 312-6 dec.
VIC 289 + 257
J Ainslie 81; C Mckenzie 51
RBC Rees 4-78
South Australia win by two-hundred-and-fifty-seven runs.
