Lineups:
South Australia-ER Mayne, CE Dolling, C Hill, JN Crawford, DM Steele, JT Murray, CF Drew, KH Quist, WS Stirling, HW Webster, WJ Whitty

First Innings
New South Wales got off to a good start reaching 125 before losing the first wickets, and the middle order did enough to reach a fine score on a very difficult pitch before the tail collapsed.
NSW 413
EL Waddy 119; RB Minnett 85; EP Barbour 66
JT Murray 4-79
The South Australian reply was okay, but it lacked someone to really excel and push the team along. NSW were now in pole position to take another win and put one hand on the Shield.
NSW 413
SA 303
CE Dolling 91; WS Stirling 51*
A Cotter 5-77
Second Innings
South Australia found it harder to take wickets consistently, despite the pitch really turning through days three and four. The opening three batsmen were out for 76, but the middle order again came through and the team declared on the eve of day five with a handsome lead.
NSW 413 + 400-8
SA 303
SE Gregory 132*; W Bardsley 93
JN Crawford 5-123
Once high scoring C Hill was caught at slip, the the remaining four batsmen combined for seven runs and a crushing defeat. This means New South Wales can clinch the Sheffield Shield with victory over Victoria in the final game of the season. Otherwise, it goes to the quotient rating.
NSW 413 + 400-8
SA 303 + 199
C Hill 90
SH Emery 7-37
New South Wales win by three-hundred-and-eleven runs.
