First Innings
After AW Wright trapped both openers leg before wicket for just seven runs the momentum swung around with Victoria racing off past 300 through the first day's play with half their wickets remaining. They did not last long after lunch thanks to a limp tail, but the middle order had put in a good performance to frustrate the visitors.

FA Baring 131' WW Armstrong 94; HHG Bracher 59
WJ Whitty 3-127; AP James 2-72
ER Mayne's single run was more than five of his teammates could even manage, but a half-century at least got them into the respectability of a triple-digit score before the final five batsmen slouched out for a single run between them.

AG Moyes 50; GC Campbell 38
J Ryder 4-36; H Ironmonger 3-43
Second Innings
Things started on an even worse footing for South Australia when they quickly found themselves 24-5 with DM Steele leaving with his second duck of the match from the third spot on the lineup. Three of the other four ducks from the first innings managed to put up runs on the board, and even had a partnership of over a hundred for the eighth wicket, but overall the Victorian bowlers proved to be unstoppable.
VIC 442
SA 143 + 195
WS Stirling 69; AP James 46
WW Armstrong 4-46; J Ryder 3-67
Victoria win by an innings and one-hundred-and-four runs
