First Innings
South Australia's whirlwind season rolls on for their third match of the season; all four of their contests will be played in a row before Victoria and this NSW side meet. It was tough going for the home side early on as FK Gould (44) and DE Pritchard (67) held on in there to partner centurion AJ Richardson. Two ducks followed the second dismissal: VY Richardson and NA Walsh were both caught, but AJ Richardson carried on until near the end of play on day one. The unlucky JW Rymill (49) and EGC Wainwright kept things flowing on day two, with TW Wall constructing a good score as well.
SA 478
AJ Richardson 140; EGC Wainwright 94
CV Morrissey 3-96; JM Gregory 3-113
A similar start for New South Wales saw opener AT Ratcliffe (17) as the first dismissal. TJE Andrews (42) and AF Kippax (62) were there as partners for HO Rock to score a century on his debut. JM Gregoy and OE Nothling fell for ducks, but the pattern changed for NSW as both JG Morgan and WAS Oldfield also put in their hundreds before the tail was swiftly dispatched.
SA 478
NSW 464
JG Morgan 110; WAS Oldfield 100*; HO Rock 100
AJ Richardson 3-149; EGC Wainwright 2-80
Second Innings
With a slim lead South Australia could not rack up the runs before VY Richardson and NA Walsh were both credited with a pair of ducks. JW Rymill and EGC Wainwright again reformed their partnership, the former making it over the final hump this time. JM Gregory, in his first Sheffield Shield match since 1921, again took several wickets, but AA Mailey was the biggest threat on this occasion.
SA 478 + 296
NSW 464
EGC Wainwright 86*; FK Gould 76; JW Rymill 64
AA Mailey 4-85; JM Gregory 3-89
Two matches in his Shield career and two centuries for HO Rock stole the show, but New South Wales started out 4-2 with AT Ratcliffe and TKE Andrews dismissed by AJ Richardson for one run a piece. JM Gregory and OE Nothling avoided their own pair of ducks, with AF Kippax and JG Morgan providing valued run support to take a good win.
SA 478 + 296
NSW 464 + 311-6
HO Rock 101; AF Kippax 71; JG Morgan 62*
AJ Richardson 3-75; NA Walsh 1-32
New South Wales win by four wickets.
