First Innings
South Australia set out to take advantage of a good batting wicket but could only rely on three batsmen throughout the innings as the remainder of the order managed to score a total of 34 runs between themselves. DM Steele and DE Pritchard got things going after both starters walked with 14 runs scored. PD Rundell picked up the slack and carried the team on his back for as long as he could while his teammates floundered at the crease under heavy pressure from the Victorian bowlers.

An early wicket, ER Mayne (16), was a long bright spot for South Australia's bowlers as Victoria went on to score four half-centuries and an impressive unbeaten double-century. Batting for almost two days Victoria called it at tea on day three confident of an innings victory.
