Lineups:
Victoria- ER Mayne, LA Cody, JL McNaughton, JL Keating, RL Park, J Ryder, LD Ferguson, AEV Hartkopf, WW Armstrong, JL Ellis, EA McDonald

First Innings
With half the order reaching a maximum of six runs, three of those ducks, it was up to a few good men to take charge as South Australia put in a fine score to start the match. VY Richardson and DM Steele put in the best partnership of the innings and, coupled with another pair of good scores, took their team close to 400 despite the impotent tail after lunch on day two.
SA 390
VY Richardson 151; DM Steele 89; RJB Townsend 56*; DE Pritchard 54
WW Armstrong 3-67; EA McDonald 3-88
LA Cody was trapped lbw for a duck to give PD Rundell his only wicket, but a succession of centuries ripped up the South Australian bowling as their torrid season with the ball continues. The fourth wicket partnership fell six runs shy of breaking that particular record as Victoria declared with a decent lead.
SA 390
VIC 710-6 dec.
J Ryder 207*; JL Keating 175; RL Park 107; LD Ferguson 92; ER Mayne 55
FR Lucas 2-116; RJB Townsend 1-39
Second Innings
PD Rundell was unable to match his first innings score of six as he went leg before wicket for a duck, but some better batting through the order helped VY Richardson as he led the team with another very good score. There would be no individual bowling honours for Victoria, but each man who delivered picked up at least one wicket and a certain victory when they returned to the crease.
SA 390 + 333
VIC 710-6 dec.
VY Richardson 98; DRA Gehrs 67
WW Armstrong 3-58; JL McNaughton 3-103
A few overs of careful batting and Victoria get their first win of the season.
SA 390 + 333
VIC 710-6 dec. + 14-0
LA Cody 9*; ER Mayne 5*
WJ Whitty 0-5; PD Rundell 0-9
Victoria win by ten wickets.
