First Innings
South Australia took a gamble on the pitch staying consistent throughout the match and put their opponents into bat first. The visitors could have made more of their opportunity but the fielders missed chance after chance after chance, leaving New South Wales looking comfortable enough.

NSW 495
CG Macartney 193; RB Minnett 94; C Kelleway 65
WJ Whitty 4-144; WL Chamberlain 3-91

South Australia's third batsman also made his century, and had some support in his partnership, but no less than six batsmen ended the innings in single-digit scores. New South Wales elected to enforce the follow on.

NSW 495
SA 345
C Hill 100; JN Crawford 91; WL Chamberlain 72
WJ Stack 3-80; RJA Massie 3-107

Second Innings
This time around, nine batsmen reached double-figures, but eight of them scored no more than 29. Things were going quite well after an early wicket (DRA Gehrs 11, lbw DR Cullen), then it became a duck hunt, leaving NSW a relatively simple road to victory.

NSW 495
SA 345 + 365
ER Mayne 137; C Hill 71
RJA Massie 3-78; DR Cullen 3-94

CG Macartney was unable to excel this time as he walked straight back to the pavilion with a duck after he was caught at gully. Wickets fell at a faster rate than in the first innings, but New South Wales comfortable took yet another victory.

NSW 495 + 216-4
SA 345 + 365
W Bardsley 74*; EP Barbour 74
WL Chamberlain 2-46

New South Wales win by six wickets
