First Innings
A few good men were needed to get South Australia to a fine score as their inconsistencies of both teams continue through to the end of the season. This despite a brilliant opening partnership. A good batting wicket wasn't much help against Victoria's second pairing of bowlers.

SA 403
GC Cammpbell 111; ER Mayne 83; JN Crawford 77
WH Cannon 3-79; C McKenzie 3-83

A pair of ducks and only two half-centuries left Victoria trailing, but they did well to improve from 102-5 to 320-all out.

Second Innings
A much better batting performance had South Australia declaring in a comfortable position. This time only one Victorian bowler made much impact.

SA 403 + 433-6 dec.
VIC 320
ER Mayne 108; C Hill 85; JN Crawford 76*; AG Moyes 70
C McKenzie 4-90

Victoria also improved upon their previous display, but there was too much of a distance to make up. The tail collapsed but both EV Carroll and FA Baring were a long way away from where their scores should have been, with ducks to them in the first innings and a total of 28 runs between in the second.


SA 403 + 433-6 dec.
VIC 320 + 389
WW Armstrong 83; EL Carroll 76; TJ Matthews 76; VS Ransford 57
WJ Whitty 5-106; JN Crawford 4-120

South Australia win by one-hundred-and-twenty-seven runs.
