CW 1914/15 (S23) Game 6: South Australia vs Victoria
South Australi vs Victoria
Adelaide Oval
19th-20th, 22nd-23rd February
Lineups:
South Australia- ER Mayne, AG Moyes, DM Steele, CE Pellew, RF Middleton, HB Willsmore, GC Campbell, WS Stirling, WJ Whitty, AP James, PH Coombe
Victoria- RL Park, J Ryder, FA Baring, LA Cody, GEJ Healy, C Kiernan, WW Armstrong, VJ Souter, FW Hyett, EA McDonald, H Ironmonger
First Innings
South Australia needed something of a miracle if they were to defeat Victoria here and beat them out to the title on quotient . As it turned out the whole thing was pretty moot when the openers of Victoria ripped up the bowling for a partnership of 225. A few cheaper wickets fell around tea and a second partnership began to kick on again.
VIC 511
RL Park 115; JL Ryder 104; WW Armstrong 103; VJ Souter 78
HB Willsmore 5-98; WJ Whitty 3-160
The South Australian openers did not exactly emulate their opposite numbers, but safer hands guided them onwards to within 200 runs of Victoria early on day four. Each of the four Victorian bowlers captured at least one wicket as the attack fed on a consistent diet of batsmen outside of the three high-scorers.
VIC 511
SA 319
CE Pellew 80; WS Striling 70; HB Willsmore 66
WW Armstrong 4-67; H Ironmonger 3-88
Second Innings
The follow on was naturally called and only CE Pellew managed to resemble a safe bet at the crease. WJ Whitty had to remove himself through sudden injury but would be able to bowl again when South Australia squeaked past the required total.
VIC 511
SA 319 + 220
CE Pellew 86; RF Middleton 39
EA McDonald 3-47; J Ryder 3-60
J Ryder was the long wicket taken, bowled clean by WJ Whitty, and Victoria win their first Sheffield Shield in seven seasons.

CW 1914/15 (S23) Game 4: New South Wales vs Victoria
New South Wales vs Victoria
Sydney Cricket Ground
23rd, 25th-26th January 1915
Lineups:
New South Wales- W Bardsley, AA Mailey, CG Macartney, FM Farrar, TJE Andrews, JM Taylor, HL Collins, AT Ratcliffe, C Kelleway,EA Bull, JP Flynn
Victoria- RL Park, J Ryder, FA Baring, LA Cody, WW Armstrong, TJ Matthews, VJ Souter, AE Brown, EA McDonald, W Carkeek, H Ironmonger
First Innings
New South Wales' gameplan started relatively well as they used the bowling conditions to skittle Victoria for less than 300-runs. It was tough going for the bowlers early on but they managed to clean up quite efficiently once into the second half of the batting order, allowing one double-digit score, a 31 from AE Brown, through the final six batsmen.
VIC 278
LA Cody 88; J Ryder 47
JP Flynn 4-67; TJE Andrews 2-62
New South Wales lost a wicket before the close of play on day one and another two in the first two overs on the second day. A partnership formed between CG Macartney and TJE Andrews but once they left the crease Victoria returned to a brutal display of bowling.
VIC 278
NSW 135
TJE Andrews 53; CG Macartney 36
H Ironmonger 4-30; WW Armstrong 3-48
Second Innings
The pitch had degraded further when the pitch was inspected on the third morning and Victoria were already 28-3. This time a couple of middle-order batsmen held the fort long enough to put up a difficult total for New South Wales to chase before the tail crumbled once again. JP Flynn was instrumental in NSW's success by becoming the eleventh player to claim seven wickets in an innings; joint-fifth with ex-Victoria star JV Saunders in best innings performance.
VIC 278 + 153
NSW 135
TJ Matthews 52; VJ Souter 33
JP Flynn 7-57; AA Mailey 2-42
AA Mailey was the first victim again, but this time he managed to register a run before making his way back indoors. Things settled down nicely for New South Wales and CG Macartney was again a central part of things, helping to put up a partnership of 129. After his dismissal at the hands of H Ironmonger - claiming his second five-wicket innings in his debut season but again falling one shy of a ten-wicket match - the remaining seven outs all fell for a grand total of 42 runs.
VIC 278 + 153
NSW 135 + 214
CG Macartney 76; FM Farrar 64
H Ironmonger 5-60; EA McDonald 3-38

New South Wales vs South Australia

8th-9th, 11th-12th January 1915
Lineups:
New South Wales- W Bardsley, C Kelleway, CG Macartney, TJE Andrews, JM Taylor, HG Pratten, JD Scott, AT Ratcliffe, L Best, LA Minnett, JA Randell
South Australia- ER Mayne, AG Moyes, DM Steele, PD Rundell, HB Willsmore, CE Pellew, WS Stirling, GC Campbell, AP James, WJ Whitty, AW Wright
First Innings
New South Wales lost two wickets in the first session and were looking ok at 104-2 at lunch. Things took a downturn when C Kelleway was caught behind and only TJE Andrews and JD Scott put up respectable scores.
NSW 243
C Kelleway 60; TJE Andrews 44
AP James 4-69; WJ Whitty 3-60
ER Mayne was one of a trio of scoreless players along with the bowlers WJ Whitty and AP James, but the rest of the side looked in fine form. Three players in a row passed the half-century mark, including a very unlucky PD Rundell, before WS Stirling put up his century to help the team storm into a winnable position.
NSW 243
SA 469
WS Stirling 115; PD Rundell 99; AG Moyes 74; DM Steele 53
C Kelleway 3-135; JD Scott 3-126
Second Innings
New South Wales are one defeat away from their first ever winless season in the Sheffield Shield after a crushing loss at home. The first four in the lineup were swiftly dealt with and CG Macartney left with no runs in the match after getting himself run out. A brave stand from two in the middle order only held up the inevitable for a while.
NSW 243 + 208
SA 469
HG Pratten 77; JM Taylor 62

CW 1914/15 (S23) Game 3: Victoria vs South Australia
Victoria vs South Australia
Melbourne Cricket Ground
1st-2nd, 4th January 1915
Lineups:
Victoria- RL Park, J Ryder, FA Baring, VS Ransford, WW Armstrong, HHG Bracher, TJ Matthews, VJ souter, W Carkeek, WM Allen, H Ironmonger
South Australia- ER Mayne, GC Campbell, DM Steele, AG Moyes, PD Rundell, CE Pellew, HB Willsmore, WS Stirling, AP James, WJ Whitty, AW Wright
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.
VIC 442
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.
VIC 442
SA 143
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.

CW 1914/15 (S23) Game 2: Victoria vs New South Wales
Victoria vs New South Wales
Melbourne Cricket Ground
26th, 28th-31st December 1914
Lineups:
Victoria- WW Armstrong, FA Baring, VS Ransford, J Ryder, TJ Matthews, VJ Souter, AE Brown, HHG Bracher, MD Hotchin, W Carkeek, H Ironmonger
New South Wales- W Bardsley, H Cranney, C Kelleway, HG Pratten, AT Ratcliffe, TJE Andrews, JM Taylor, RB Minnett, HH Davis, JD Scott, JA Randell
First Innings
The pitch was not expected to provide any help to the bowlers during this contest but New South Wales still decided to install Victoria at the crease first. A steady stream of wickets had the hosts 193-5 but TJ Matthews was a tough out to get - one of TJE Andrews' four-in-a-row victims - as he was the only man to reach his fifty let alone the century he made. During his stand and after his dismissal the wickets were still coming for New South Wales at intervals to keep the target score managable.
VIC 342
TJ Matthews 119; VS Ransford 44
TJE Andrews 4-23; RB Minnett 3-110
It was a similar story when the teams changed places but New South Wales lost the openers for just 10 runs between them. HG Pratten was their century hero with help from the likes of C Kelleway just falling shy of his fifty. The tail disintegrated quicker than Victoria's but the difference in score was negligible. H Ironmonger made a dazzling impression in his Sheffield Shield debut and his side enjoyed a little slice of luck when JM Taylor had to leave injured with no runs to his name.
VIC 342
NSW 333
HG Pratten 123; TJE Andrews 56
H Ironmonger 7-99; WW Armstrong 2-57
Second Innings
Century-maker TJ Matthews was one of three ducks on the Victorian scoresheet as New South Wales was able to find a good rhythm, carving through the middle order once dangerman VS Ransford was dispatched. Plummeting from 126-2 to 127-7, Victoria lost their grip on the match and had to hope they also found an early way through.
VIC 342 + 193
NSW 333
VS Ransford 65; J Ryder 36
RB Minnett 5-64; JD Scott 3-38
A slightly improved performance from the starters was soon cancelled out as three wickets tumbled, including HG Pratten, another centurion with a duck in the second innings, with 64 runs on the board. AT Ratcliffe dragged the side into triple digits, and the tail was much better looking on the second time around finding 79 runs for the last four wickets, but New South Wales fell just short for the second time in two matches.

CW 1914/15 (S23) Game 1: South Australia vs New South Wales
South Australia vs New South Wales
Adelaide Oval
18th-19th, 21st-24th December 1913
Lineups:
South Australia-ER Mayne, RF Middleton, AG Moyes, DM Steele, CE Pellew, GC Campbell, HB Willsmore, WS Stirling, WO Cooper, AP James, AW Wright
New South Wales- C Kelleway, HH Davis, JM Taylor, RB Minnett, W Bardsley, TJE Andrews, H Cranney, HG Pratten, JD Scott, AT Ratcliffe, JA Randell
First Innings
New South Wales started average, found a rich vein of form in the middle order, and fell back to average towards the end but ultimately came close to the magic 500 number. AW Wright carved through the first three batsmen in his first session but was unable to stop a few good men doing the damage on a batter-friendly wicket. AP James however took a pair of big scalps on the second day's play to stop the bleeding.
NSW 488
H Cranney 123; TJE Andrews 98; RB Minnett 89
AW Wright 4-131; AP James 3-140
Victoria lacked a good reply and they only found a half-century man in the ninth spot of the order. Right after lunch on day three they sat at 134-6 with CE Pellew the current highscorer and latest casualty to a rampant set of bowlers. WO Cooper saved some blushes by dragging the score to more than double what it was when he walked out to the crease. New South Wales knew that they probably wouldn't be able to bowl out the side again for much less, but decided it would be best to enforce the follow on.
NSW 488
SA 315
WO Cooper 81; CE Pellew 42; HB Willsmore 42
RB Minnett 3-37; C Kelleway 3-99; JA Randell 3-100
Second Innings
A much better start led to Victoria putting some pressure on their opponents, even if the lead was less than half of what NSW managed in the first innings. CE Pellew was one of two men to get close to his century, and WO Cooper was unable to replicate his earlier performance, caught at mid wicket for just 2.
NSW 488
SA 315 + 403
ER Mayne 90; CE Pellew 88; WS Stirling 61
RB Minnett 3-61; JA Randell 3-128
New South Wales suffered an even more disturbing start than their first innings and things did not look like improving. Centurion H Cranney was bowled for a duck by WS Stirling and the team was surprisingly 39 runs short of victory with one last wicket remaining. JD Scott and JA Randell fought hard, and endured a lot of determined bowling on a wicket that had drastically turned from one good for batting to one that the bowlers loved, before the latter finally succumbed to WO Cooper's delivery that wrecked his stumps. New South Wales lost a match they should have won and had a couple of days before they would play in Victoria to consider their follow-on decision.

First Innings
New South Wales started average, found a rich vein of form in the middle order, and fell back to average towards the end but ultimately came close to the magic 500 number. AW Wright carved through the first three batsmen in his first session but was unable to stop a few good men doing the damage on a batter-friendly wicket. AP James however took a pair of big scalps on the second day's play to stop the bleeding.
NSW 488
H Cranney 123; TJE Andrews 98; RB Minnett 89
AW Wright 4-131; AP James 3-140
Victoria lacked a good reply and they only found a half-century man in the ninth spot of the order. Right after lunch on day three they sat at 134-6 with CE Pellew the current highscorer and latest casualty to a rampant set of bowlers. WO Cooper saved some blushes by dragging the score to more than double what it was when he walked out to the crease. New South Wales knew that they probably wouldn't be able to bowl out the side again for much less, but decided it would be best to enforce the follow on.

Second Innings
A much better start led to Victoria putting some pressure on their opponents, even if the lead was less than half of what NSW managed in the first innings. CE Pellew was one of two men to get close to his century, and WO Cooper was unable to replicate his earlier performance, caught at mid wicket for just 2.
