Victoria vs New South Wales
Melbourne Cricket Ground
24th, 26th-28th January 1925
Lineups-
Victoria- J Ryder, WH Ponsford, HSB Love, KJ Millar, RL park, JL keating, VS Ransford, JA Atkinson, HS Gamble, WJ Rayson, H Ironmonger
New South Wales- HL Collins, W Bardsley, JM Taylor, TJE Andrews, LW Gwynne, C Kelleway, ATE Punch, WAS Oldfield, JEH Hooker, AA Mailey, CS Everett
First Innings
J Ryder registered the fourth highest score of the season and with support from HSB Love and KJ Millar Victoria were in fine shape at 312-4. But after RL Park (39) and JL keating (27) were removed from the crease, a grand total of 20 runs were added to the team total as the tail was crushed by CS Everett and a pair of run outs.
VIC 395
J Ryder 153; KJ Millar 82; HSB Love 56
CS Everett 4-59; C Kelleway 2-96
W Bardsley was caught out at deep mid wicket off H Ironmonger's bowling, but JM Taylor and friends carried on with commitment despite the title already in their hands. The pitch was not ideal for batting but that did not stop NSW passing 500 with everyone, outside of the aforementioned W Bardsley (3) reaching double-figures.
VIC 395
NSW 504
JM Taylor 134; TJE Andrews 79; LW Gwynne 76; WAS Oldfield 50*
WJ Rayson 3-86; HS Gamble 2-86
Second Innings
Victoria slumped throughout the second innings with only VS Ransford making himself look respectable. CS Everett was again a thorn in their sides with AA Mailey improving upon his first innings effort of 1-121.
VIC 395 + 224
NSW 504
VS Ransford 50; RL Park 32
CS Everett 4-49; AA Mailey 3-50
W Bardsley (13) again failed to gain a foothold, going for lbw this time, but remaining opener HL Collins along with JM Taylor cruised to a clean sweep for New South Wales this season.
VIC 395 + 224
NSW 504 + 116-1
HL Collins 60*; JM Taylor 42*
J Ryder 1-32; WJ Rayson 0-21
New South Wales win by nine wickets.

CW 1924/25 (S28) Game 5: New South Wales vs Victoria
New South Wales vs Victoria
Sydney Cricket Ground
24th, 26th-28th January 1925
Lineups-
New South Wales- HO Rock, JG morgan, AT Ratcliffe, AF Kippax, BM Salmon, AP Wells, CV Morrissey, CHW lawes, ADA Mayes, JD Scott, MW Bosley
Victoria- ER Mayne, WM Woodfull, HSTL Hendry, AE Liddicut, FA Tarrant, AEV hartkopf, KJ Schneider, CB Willis, JL Ellis, DD Blackie, PH Wallace
First Innings
HO Rock and AT Ratcliffe looked solid, but the next highest score was ADA Mayes' unbeaten 39; the next was 23 from CV Morrissey yet somehow NSW were not far off 300 with HSTL Hendry and DD Blackie forming a formidable one-two punch.
NSW 277
AT Ratcliffe 75; HO Rock 51
DD Blackie 3-71; HSTL Hendry 3-83
If New South Wales' first innings score on a bowling pitch was below par then Victoria's was dismal. ER Mayne (29) and WM Woodfull 23) were out back-to-back and the score was 53-2, but that was followed by HSTL Hendry and AE Liddicut for ducks. FA Tarrant and AEV Hartkopf survived together an 85 run partnership, but CHW Lawes and JD Scott were not to be denied aside from the final wicket (PH Wallace 12, c. wicket-keeper, b. MW Bosley).
NSW 277
VIC 204
FA Tarrant 63; AEV Hartkopf 43
CHW Lawes 5-61; JD Scott 4-63
Second Innings
The pitch was disintegrating below their feet but HO Rock and JG Morgan's opening partnership was value for money at 170; HO Rock ending on the unluckiest score. A ray of light for Victoria followed with AT Ratcliffe (6) caught in daring fashion and AF Kippax (17) also ending up in someone's hands. BM Salmon (46) and AP Wells (35) did fine in the difficult circumstanes, but CV Morrissey excelled, lasting longer than anyone in the match.
NSW 277 + 481
VIC 204
CV Morrissey 113; HO Rock 99; JG Morgan 80
HSTL Hendry 3-127; A Liddicut 2-25
Victorias openers were dispatched by JD Scott before either of them could reach 20, and HSTL Hendry put on his own show before the same bowler took his third wicket to make the score 186-6. Like New South Wales, there were no ducks in the second innings for Victoria but CV Morrissey was on a mission to end with a deeply impressive score.
NSW 277 + 481
VIC 204 + 220
HSTL Hendry 80; KJ Schneider 49
CV Morrissey 7-43; JD Scott 3-59
New South Wales win by three-hundred-and-thirty-four runs.

CW 1924/25 (S28) Game 4: South Australia vs New South Wales
South Australia vs New South Wales
Adelaide Oval
9th-10th, 12th-13th January 1925
Lineups-
South Australia- JW Rymill, EGC Wainwright, JT Murray, DE Pritchard, PD Rundell, VY Richardson, LT Gun, CV Grimmett, TW Wall, AM Ambler, GH Palmer
New South Wales- AT Ratcliffe, LW Gwynne, JG Morgan, TJE Andrews, AF Kippax, ATE Punch, OE Nothling, ADA Mayes, JD Scott, CV Morrissey, JA Randell
First Innings
South Australia were looking in decent form midway through the second session as four different bowlers took the first four batsmen for between 31 and 39 runs each. The best way for New South Wales to stop the consistent rot was to put together a lasting partnership and with AF Kippax and ATE Punch they more than made it happen with a fifth wicket score of 425.
NSW 706-5
AF Kippax 312*; ATE Punch 185; OE Nothling 62*
CV Grimmett 2-214; JT Murray 1-106
After receiving such a shelling it was unsurprising to see South Australia swept aside in sixty-four overs. CV Morrissey claimed the first wicket, EGC Wainwright for 5 lbw, but JD Scott was not leading the attack for nothing as he took four wickets, two of which (LT Gun & CV Grimmett) were back-to-back ducks. Only JW Rymill put in a good account of himself before leaving with an injury, with DE Pritchard almost making his own half-century.
NSW 706-5
SA 202
JW Rymill 60; DE Pritchard 48
JD Scott 4-61; JA Randell 3-36
Second Innings
With JW Rymill not able to rejoin the match until the second wicket had fallen, JT Murray was opening and was soon gone lbw for 17 at the hands of JA Randell. EGC Wainwright and DE Pritchard then formed a good partnership of almost 150; the latter batsman staying in until the team passed 300. VY Richardson (61) was there at 400, but the tail was crushed and South Australia end their season with an innings defeat.
NSW 706-5
SA 202 + 410
DE Pritchard 137; EGC Wainwright 92

CW 1924/25 (S28) Game 3: New South Wales vs South Australia
New South Wales vs South Australia
Sydney Cricket Ground
28th-29th November, 1st-4th December 1924
Lineups-
New South Wales- HO Rock, AT Ratcliffe, TJE Andrews, AF Kippax, JM Gregory, JG Morgan, OE Nothling, WAS Oldifled, CV Morrissey, WGF Brown, AA Mailey
South Australia- AJ Richardson, FK Gould, DE Pritchard, VY Richardson, NA Walsh, JW Rymill, EGC Wainwright, CV Grimmett, AM Ambler, TW Wall, GH Palmer
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.

CW 1923/24 (S27) Game 5: New South Wales vs Victoria
New South Wales vs Victoria
Sydney Cricket Ground
26th, 28th-31st January 1924
Lineups-
New South Wales- HL Collins, W Bardsley, CG Macartney, TJE Andrews, AF Kippax, ATE Punh, HSTL Hendry, WAS Oldfield, JD Scott, AA Mailey, JCLS Wall
Victoria- ER Mayne, WM Woodfull, HSB Love, WH Ponsford, J Ryder, AEV Hartkopf, VS Ransford, AE Liddicut, TA Carlton, JL Ellis, PH Wallace
First Innings
In a game that Victoria had to win in order to stay in the running for this years title they did not enjoy the best of starts, limping over the 300 mark thanks to AE Liddcut's top score. ER Mayne was a quick out, caught at slip off HSTL Hendry's bowling, and then things stabalised for the team with 40+ scores from WM Woodfull and WH Posnford sandwiching the tally from HSB Love. J Ryder (3) and AEV Hartkopf (0) left together before AE Liddicut set to his days' work.
VIC 301
AE Liddicut 79; HSB Love 63
HSTL Hendry 4-93; AA Mailey 2-66
A win here would give New South Wales another title to add to their impressive collection despite a pedestrian start. HL Collins (37) and W Bardsley (30) were both gone with 70 on the board, but the partnership of CG Macartney and TJE Andrews, the latter then partnered with AF Kippax (43) and HSTL Hendry later on, kicked their innings up a notch to take a good lead.
VIC 301
NSW 426
TJE Andrews 124; HSTL Hendry 63; CG Macartney 50
J Ryder 3-30; AE Liddicut 3-91
Second Innings
An improved start from Victoria meant that they did lose a wicket until they were 95-0. At that point JCLS Wall took care of both ER Mayne (36) and half-centurion WM Woodfull by lbw and bowled respectively. The trio of HSB Love, WH Ponsford and J Ryder only managed to rustle up a further 44 runs between them, all dealt with by AA Mailey, but the day was saved by AEV Hartkopf more than making up for his first innings duck. PH Wallace (41) provided some valuable runs late on as the pitch disintegrated under their feet.
VIC 301 + 445
NSW 426
AEV Hartkopf 176; WM Woodfull 54
AA Mailey 4-117; JCLS Wall 3-99
For a surprise turn of events the reliable pairing of HL Collins (7) and W Bardsley (1) were swiftly taken out of the equation, and they were followed in regular intervals by another four batsmen, including TJE Andrews who only managed 18 this time before a fine piece of fielding at short leg ended his efforts, leaving NSW at 110-6, 211 away from victory. ATE Punch managed to weather the storm, but only WAS Oldfield joined him in scoring more than 18 runs. Victoria can now take the Sheffield Shield with a win in the final match of the season.
VIC 301 + 445
NSW 426 + 209
ATE Punch 85; WAS Oldfield 32

New South Wales vs South Australia
Sydney Cricket Ground
11th-12th, 14th-16th January 1924
Lineups-
New South Wales- HL Collins, W Bardsley, TJE Andrews, JM Taylor, AF Kippax, ATE Punch, HSTL Hendry, AT Gray, WAS Oldfield, AA Mailey, CS Everett
South Australia- EL Bowley, AJ Richardson, VY Richardson, DE Pritchard, FK Gould, RJB Townsend, JW Rymill, NL Williams, WJ Whitty, HM Fisher, AM Ambler
First Innings
New South Wales were 99-1 at lunch, HL Collins (26) the lone dismissal, but 205-5 at tea with ATE Punch needed to lead a resurgence into the second day. His century was the clear highlight for NSW while a pair of bowlers took three wickets a piece for South Australia, yet were unable to keep their opponents under 400.
NSW 403
ATE Punch 120; W Bardsley 77; HSTL Hendry 58
NL Williams 3-82; AJ Richardson 3-89
Other than AM Ambler, who was out for a duck, the South Australian batsmen all registered double-figures but only one passed, or even came close, to their half-century. EL Bowley outlasted his first two partners, the Richardsons, and saw his side pass 100 before he too was removed from play. A pair of 30+ scores from DE Pritchard and WJ Whitty (34*) bookended four tallys in the 20's, leaving New South Wales in control.
NSW 403
SA 290
EL Bowley 52; DE Pritchard 36
AA Mailey 3-79; HSTL Hendry 3-82
Second Innings
WJ Whitty struck early for his first wicket, HL Collins lbw for 2, while W Bardsley (38) and TJE Andrews may have swapped bats between innings as their scores were similar to the others' in the first innings and NSW were 186-6 at the end of day three. AT Gray was strong through the fourth morning session until he was run out, but his side struggled to put to the game away.
NSW 403 + 267
SA 290
TJE Andrews 70; AT Gray 64
RJB Townsend 4-60; WJ Whitty 4-88
Five South Australian batsmen failed to reach double-figures this time, VY Richardson's duck the first after the openers were split up with EL Bowley walking for 23. AJ Richardson was the man to drag his team past 100 but, like his fellow opener in the first innings, fell soon after reaching the milestone. From that point on it was pretty easy for New South Wales to bide their time and cleave through the order, doubling up on South Australia with two wins out of two games versus South Australia.
NSW 403 + 267
SA 290 + 199
AJ Richardson 53; WJ Whitty 38*
ATE Punch 4-48; AA Mailey 3-51

Five South Australian batsmen failed to reach double-figures this time, VY Richardson's duck the first after the openers were split up with EL Bowley walking for 23. AJ Richardson was the man to drag his team past 100 but, like his fellow opener in the first innings, fell soon after reaching the milestone. From that point on it was pretty easy for New South Wales to bide their time and cleave through the order, doubling up on South Australia with two wins out of two games versus South Australia.
NSW 403 + 267
SA 290 + 199
AJ Richardson 53; WJ Whitty 38*
ATE Punch 4-48; AA Mailey 3-51
New South Wales win by one-hundred-and-eighty-one runs.

New South Wales- HL Collins, W Bardsley, CG Macartney, TJE Andrews, JM Taylor, AF Kippax, C Kelleway, HSTL Hendry, WAS Oldfield, JD Scott, AA Mailey
First Innings
Both ER Mayne (28) and WM Woodfull (2) were eliminated before Victoria could score 70 runs, but three good scores surged them on towards 400. HSTL Hendry was responsible for stopping RL Park, the highest scorer, catching a comeback shot from the sixth batsman.
VIC 387
RL Park 88; WH Ponsford 78; J Ryder 78
HSTL Hendry 3-67; JD Scott 2-79
New South Wales looked to be in some difficulty at 43-3 with HL Collins and W Bardsley both receiving their marching orders back to back with 16 runs each, and CG Macartney (6) failed to reach that many. There were a few scores in the 30's and a 29 from HSTL Hendry, but it was JM Taylor who had any real say in New South Wales staying in this match.

Second Innings
WH Ponsford (4) was the only early victim to NSW bowling, and both ER Mayne (49) and WM Woodfull (43) keeping things secure until they fell for a 97-3 score. J Ryder bettered his first innings total and RL Park made another half-century himself to help the team pass 300 again. HSTL Hendry failed to take another wicket in the match but his shortcomings were balanced out by AA Mailey's performance.
VIC 387 + 330
NSW 323
J Ryder 79; RL Park 68
AA Mailey 5-85; JD Scott 3-74
Only a leg-bye was on the scoreboard when W Bardsley was out leg before wicket and HL Collins walked off, caught at mid off. CG Macartney managed to score a single run to add to a second extra before the man at gully made a remarkable catch and New South Wales were in a deep hole 3-3. TJE Andrews rolled up his sleeves and kept things steady but JM Taylor could not emulate his earlier visit to the crease, out for 39. A last stand from HSTL Hendry was only enough to to get them past 200 runs, well short of the required total.

Lineups-
South Australia- EL Bowley, AJ Richardson, JT Murray, RJB Townsend, JW Rymill, NA Walsh, HFT Heath, NL Williams, HM Fisher, AM Ambler, PAP Ohlstrom
New South Wales- HL Collins, W Bardsley, CG Macartney, TJE Andrews, JM Taylor, AF Kippax, C Kelleway, HSTL Hendry, WAS Oldfield, JD Scott, AA Mailey
First Innings
New South Wales now has a regular opening partnership between HL Collins and W Bardsley and they continue to produce the goods to start another season. Both men had little trouble reaching their half-centuries before RJB Townsend was able to get them to hit the ball straight to third man and the wicket keeper for their dismissals. CG Macartney (11) and the duck of JM Taylor continued the same bowler's vein of good form but he would have to wait some time before claiming his fifth wicket: century maker TJE Andrews. HSTL Hendry also made a milestone score but only AF Kippax and WAS Oldfield further contributed to the score, both scoring 13.
NSW 338
TJE Andrews 106; HL Collins 73; W Bardsley 60; HSTL Hendry 58
RJB Townsend 5-78; HFT Heath 3-114
RJB Townsend carried over his performance with the ball to his time at the crease, but he was one of two men who was able to reach 50 and two others, JW Rymill (45) and NA Walsh (35) bettering the 21 of NL Williams. The wicket-takers had their moments in bunches. JD Scott dismissed the first four, CG Macartney, C Kelleway, and then AA Mailey taking two a piece all back-to-back.

Second Innings
The openers were both out after scoring 30+ but TJE Andrews continued to flourish, beating his previous innings total before a wonder catch at deep mid wicket finally put an end to that. RJB Townsend was only able to take the wicket of HL Collins, caught this time at square leg, but HFT Heath tore through the lower order to end the match with terrific numbers on his debut.

TJE Andrews 118; AF Kippax 44

After his early exit for 10 runs at slip in the first innings EL Bowley and his opening partner showed a confidence at the crease that would take them to 157 before JD Scott once again removed them from play. The next partnership featured RJB Townsend once more and another batsmen that did not last long in his earlier attempt. After the fall of RJB Townsend, South Australia were 50 runs shy of victory with five wickets remaining, but NA Walsh (15), HFT Heath (0) and HM Fisher (0) were all dismissed at the hands of C Kelleway who seamed his side to a sudden turn around.

South Australia- AJ Richardson, VY Richardson, HHM Bridgman, PD Rundell, LV Pellew, JW Rymill, RJB Townsend, NL Williams, RL Bennett, WJ Whitty, FL Morton
First Innings
South Australia put in a good performance with VY Richardson (7) and the ducks of NL Williams and RL Bennett spoiling the card. After AJ Richardson and HHM Bridgman were out before they could make half-centuries, a real partnership started up. HL Collins' two wickets were the very important scalps of the highscorers.

PD Rundell 86; LV Pellew 70
AA Mailey 3-102; HL Collins 2-24
New South Wales had to wait until they were 169-7 before things really got going for them with all-rounder HSTL Hendry partnering up with the ninth man.AJ Richardson was lethal with the spin, but he had help on two fantastic pieces of fielding for the wickets of JM Taylor (0) an WAS Oldfield.

Second Innings
South Australia could not put together a complete game as disaster struck early. AT Gray removing both AJ Richardson and PD Rundell for ducks, and AA Mailey starting off his five-for with the wicket of VY Richardson for 1. LV Pellew was able to better his first innings score, and JW Rymill was faultless in his at bat, but the tail dropped the ball this time after WJ Whitty and FL Morton put in a fearless first innings with scores of 40 and 21; this time they walked for 0.

HL Collins was caught in memorable fashion at deep mid wicket, WJ Whitty claimed his second wicket in spectacular style too; this time the catch was somehow made by the wicket keeper, leaving both Collins (18) and AF Kippax (0) shaking their heads. And not to be outdone the man at gully robbed W Bardsley of even more.

New South Wales- HL Collins, W Bardsley, CG Macartney, TJE Andrews, JM Taylor, AF Kippax, HSTL Hendry, AT Gray, WAS Oldfield, CR Campling, AA Mailey
First Innings
Victoria's fifth wicket partnership of 107 saved the day as AA Mailey dominated with his spin bowling. WM Woodfull fell to the only other bowler to take wickets, AT Gray, for a duck; ER Mayne (22), CB Willis (18) and J Ryder (0) soon followed, and Victoria were 41-4 before the longest partnership formed. RL Park then put in a decent 35 from the eighth spot in the lineup but he became the first of four wickets for AA Mailey to end the innings.
VIC 234
JL Ellis 60; LF Freemantle 51
AA Mailey 7-57; AT Gray 3-61
Victoria also struck early with the ball, taking the wicket of HL Collins and almost taking a rib out of CG Macartney who was forced to leave the innings. New South Wales found their groove much earlier than their opponents had with a partnership of 135. This was followed by JM Taylor, AF Kippax, HSTL Hendry and AT Gray all scoring over 30 before the tail was destroyed in short order to put together a fine lead.
VIC 234
NSW 351
W Bardsley 111; TJE Andrews 67
LF Freemantle 3-58; J Ryder 3-77
Second Innings
The opening partnership of Victoria took the team over 100 but they only had a pair of wickets left soon after passing the side's second century, ending with a valiant single-handed display to get them well over 300. Once the openers were broken up with WM Woodfull caught at extra cover for 47, the wickets of CB Willis (0) and LF Freemantle (3) followed. JL Ellis was unable to reach half his first innings score before the leadership of AEV Hartkopf dragged everyone else along for a ride. The NSW bowling attack had a much tougher time finishing the side off with AA Mailey falling a wicket shy of ten in the match.
VIC 234 + 342
NSW 351
AEV Hartkopf 110*; ER Mayne 63
CR Campling 4-52; AT Gray 2-91
The condition of the pitch had been rapidly falling over the final two days of the match but, like New South Wales before them, Victoria was unable to break down the side very quickly. The openers and TJE Andrews both walked with 52 runs on the board but NSW remained confident and were inspired, with half their wickets remaining and 51 runs still to score, by the performance of CG Macartney playing through his pain.

CW 1922/23 (S26) Game 1: South Australia vs New South Wales
South Australia vs New South Wales
Adelaide Oval
15th, 17th-20th December 1922
Lineups-
South Australia- VY Richardson, FK Gould, CE Dolling, LV Pellew, RJB Townsend, DE Pritchard, AJ Richardson, CD Gray, NL Williams, RL Bennett, FL Morton
New South Wales- HL Collins, W Bardsley, CG Macartney, TJE Andrews, JM Taylor, AF Kippax, HSTL Hendry, WAS Oldfield, CR Campling, AA Mailey, CS Everett
First Innings
New South Wales got away to a rip-roaring start, losing their first two wickets at the 196 and 401 run mark. W Bardsley (95), TJE Andrews (77), and JM Taylor (52), all provided excellent support for the big scorers. AF Kippax was the only man to fall cheaply, going for just 6, but the game looked won at tea on the second day.
NSW 703-6 dec.
CG Macartney 251; HL Collins 183
CD Gray 2-55; AJ Richardson 2-177
South Australia provided a consistent response but still fell well short of avoiding the follow on. Until the tail and it's total collapse, AJ Richardson had scored the least at 13 runs as his team fought against the tide.

New South Wales vs Victoria
Sydney Cricket Ground
26th-28th, 30th-31st January - 2nd February 1922
Lineups:
New South Wales- HL Collins, W Bardsley, TJE Andrews, HSB Love, ATE Punch, C Kelleway, HSTL Hendry, JD SCott, WAS Oldfield, AA Mailey, JCLS Wall
Victoria- J Ryder, ER Mayne, CB Willis, FA O'Keeffe, HCA Sandford, VS Ransford, AE Liddicut, AW Lampard, AEV Hartkopf, JL Ellis, EA McDonald
First Innings
C Kelleway got ER Mayne to nick one back to the keeper in a rough first inning for New South Wales, and the latter part of the Victorian order provided little help, but those who could, scored big enough. CB Willis and surviving opener broke open the biggest partnership of the innings at 133 runs, and FA O'Keeffe took over from J Ryder to guide the team past 200. Another pair of good scores took them on their way to the big total.
VIC 513
CB Willis 130; VS Ransford 113; HCA Sandford 67; J Ryder 66
AA Mailey 4-150; C Kelleway 3-124
The hosts had their own pair of century-makers to get them towards their opponents total, but there was only a half-century elsewhere with the rest of the order unable to get above C Kelleway's 38. Unlike New South Wales who were busy in the field, Victoria's bowlers did their own work with three batsmen walking lbw and another five after their wickets were smashed.
VIC 513

W Bardsley 120; HSB Love 103

Second Innings
CB Willis and J Ryder were unable to reenact their previous milestones, and ER Mayne grabbed a quick single, before AA Mailey took all three of them for 33 runs. The lead bowler also took VS Ransford cheaply, but his fifth wicket was a long time in coming when a FA O'Keeffe shot attempt carried to the slips, 281 runs after Victoria was 33-3. A pair of late half-centuries shot the side past 500 again.

Not quite reaching triple-figure scores this time but five halves gave New South Wales every chance until a calamitous collapse of the tail. Two wickets fell at both the 187 and 270 run marks thanks to a succession of good scores and a third partnership of 164 took the side within touching distance. Things then turned as the pitch had done in recent days, AE Liddicut taking the last three wickets, the dangerous looking HSTL Hendry and a pair of ducks.

South Australia- VY Richardson, A Smith, LV Pellew, AJ Richardson, RJB Townsend, PD Rundell, EA Loveridge, DE Pritchard, HL Williams, WJ Whitty, AM Ambler
First Innings
A series of tough outs without anyone truly excelling left New South Wales as the ones chasing a high score for once. Until AM Ambler (7) fell for the final wicket, the lowest contribution was 15 from AJ Richardson; five other batsmen made half-centuries. HSTL Hendry was the biggest threat that South Australia faced, but the attack should have done better on their bowling pitch.

New South Wales- H Cranney, ATE Punch, HSB Love, HL Collins, TJE Andrews, JM Taylor, JM Gregory, HSTL Hendry, H Carter, JCLS Wall, AA Mailey
First Innings
A 187 run partnership sent Victoria on it's way before a string of cheap wickets delayed them on the road to almost 500 runs. While his opening partner cruised into triple-figures, HCA Sandford was very unlucky to end his day where he did and that was enough to spark the bowling attack to rip through the 3-6 batsmen and finish off RL Park. ER Mayne and his two reliable partners, AEV Hartkopf (41) and AW Lampard (48*), steadied things down and took them onwards.
VIC 486
RL Park 134; HCA Sandford 99; ER Mayne 83
AA Mailey 4-123; JM Gregory 3-90
AE Liddicut took six consecutive wickets during the New South Wales reply, starting with high-scoring HSB Love. The remaining three batsmen in the first four to walk out to the crease combined for for little over half what their number three man accomplished. The second half of the order did what they could against the prowess of Liddicut, but they fell short of avoiding the follow on.

After falling first in the last innings, H Cranney outlasted three batsman scoring half the team's runs in the process, including HSB Love who only managed 11. The field took five catches in the second innings after seven in the first, but it was a harder road for Victoria to get through the order. They would have to bat again.

First Innings
A beautiful day greeted the teams on day one of the new season when New South Wales went to work at the crease.

First Innings
EA McDonald led the Victorian charge early on, taking the wickets of both openers for 10 and 0 respectively. Four of the next five batsmen, however, were tougher outs. Led by JM Gregory the runs started to build up for New South Wales as they tried to come out on top in this must win game. The tail was also strong-willed and were the difference in passing 400.

VIC 421
JL Keating 164*; AW Lampard 134
E Trennery 3-62; AA Mailey 3-124
Second Innings
HSTL Hendry had failed to collect a wicket in the first innings, and only had his seven runs from his previous batting effort for his total match contribution as he was caught for duck; AT Ratcliffe had the exact same story but the rest of the lineup all reached double figure scores, yet only two 70+ scores took them over 300 for a nailbiting finish as the pitch turned during the second innings.
NSW 432 + 303
VIC 421
TJE Andrews 73; JM Gregory 70
H Ironmonger 4-87; J Ryder 3-57
AW Lampard led by example once again, but this time he had good support from several key members in the lineup. The best push came after Victoria fell to 100-3, kicking on for another 191 runs before losing further wickets. Things felt a little tense at 301-6, but JL Keating remained Mr Unbeaten for the match to guide them home to their second Shield title in three years, only losing out last season's by the slimmest of tie-breaker margins.

Wickets tumbled thanks to the balanced and determined bowling attack as Victoria were under immense pressure throughout their reply, but a pair of century makers took them within touching distance to leave the match wide open.

JL Keating 164*; AW Lampard 134
E Trennery 3-62; AA Mailey 3-124
Second Innings
HSTL Hendry had failed to collect a wicket in the first innings, and only had his seven runs from his previous batting effort for his total match contribution as he was caught for duck; AT Ratcliffe had the exact same story but the rest of the lineup all reached double figure scores, yet only two 70+ scores took them over 300 for a nailbiting finish as the pitch turned during the second innings.
NSW 432 + 303
VIC 421
TJE Andrews 73; JM Gregory 70
H Ironmonger 4-87; J Ryder 3-57
AW Lampard led by example once again, but this time he had good support from several key members in the lineup. The best push came after Victoria fell to 100-3, kicking on for another 191 runs before losing further wickets. Things felt a little tense at 301-6, but JL Keating remained Mr Unbeaten for the match to guide them home to their second Shield title in three years, only losing out last season's by the slimmest of tie-breaker margins.
NSW 432 + 303
VIC 421 + 315-6
AW Lampard 105; J Ryder 88; RL Park 53
AA Mailey 3-97; HSTL Hendry 2-59

CW 1920/21 (S24) Game 5: South Australia vs New South Wales
South Australia vs New South Wales
Adelaide Oval
7th-8th, 10th-12th January 1921
Lineups:
South Australia- CE Pellew, A Smith, VY Richardson, LV Pellew, AJ Richardson, HB Willsmore, DM Steele, DM Henry, AM Ambler, HM Fisher, WJ Whitty
New South Wales- HL Collins, W Bardsley, C Kelleway, JM Taylor, TJE Andrews, JM Gregory, HSTL Hendry, J Bogle, AF Kippax, EL Waddy, H Carter
First Innings
South Australia would be glad to see the back of this season as another record high score was put up against them by a NSW batsman. Before JM Taylor got into his groove however, South Australia were coping pretty well and had their opponents on a 148-4 scoreline. But a pair of reliable partnerships with JM Taylor increased their score by 181 and 263 for the next two wickets,
NSW 740-8 dec.
JM Taylor 372*; HSTL Hendry 115; JM Gregory 76
AJ Richardson 3-191; CE Pellew 2-59
South Australia had their own hero, but even he could not get within 200 runs of the new single innings record holder. Outside of the 103 and 154 partnerships, things looked very sparse for the home team with HSTL Hendry devastating South Australia with both bat and ball.
NSW 740-8 dec.

AJ Richardson 160; A Smith 71; DM Steele 70
HSTL Hendry 7-86; HL Collins 2-46
Second Innings
The three top scorers in the first innings were among the four who failed to improve upon their earlier scores this time around. The rest of the order did themselves proud, just doing enough to rob New South Wales of an innings victory. HSTL Hendry missed out on ten wickets yet again as the claims were spread around the attack

CW 1920/21 (S24) Game 4: Victoria vs New South Wales
Victoria vs New South Wales
Melbourne Cricket Ground
24th, 27th-31st December 1920
Lineups:
Victoria- ER Mayne, AW Lampard, FA Baring, RL Park, WW Armstrong, J Ryder, AE Liddicut, CB Willis, JL Ellis, EA McDonald, H Ironmonger
New South Wales- HL Collins, W Bardsley, CG Macartney, C Kelleway, TJE Andrews, JM Taylor, J Bogle, HSTL Hendry, JM Gregory, WAS Oldfield, AA Mailey
First Innings
New South Wales were dragged through their inconsistencies by a few good batsmen. HL Collins (1) and C Kelleway (0) would have fit in well down at a collapsing tail, but the other opener W Bardsley enjoyed a very good innings along with some in the middle order.
NSW 433
W Bardsley 150; JM Taylor 99; TJE Andrews 79
AE Liddicut 3-92; EA McDonald 3-97; H Ironmonger 3-121
Victoria had their own on-form opener in the shape of AW Lampard. He, and a succession of skilled partners, was instrumental in guiding the team to within 56 runs of their opponents' score before he was trapped lbw. Even without his abilities at the crease, the team surged on to put up more than 200 runs more before they were finally all out.

VIC 581
AW Lampard 185; J Ryder 83; AE Liddicut 81; WW Armstrong 51
JM Gregory 3-126; C Kelleway 3-132
Second Innings
HL Collins improved upon his opening performance, but W Bardsley's second century of the match was much needed as wickets fell rather cheaply until their main man was caught at deep square leg and the J Bogle-HSTL Hendry tag team could keep things moving. AE Liddicut was the main bowling threat, but Victoria's inability to stop the two big scores put the match on a knife edge.

VIC 581
HSTL Hendry 174; W Bardsley 117; J Bogle 59
AE Liddicut 4-119; J Ryder 2-109
The hosts enjoyed a ripping start to the final innings, losing ER Mayne with 128 runs scored and AW Lampard heading towards another ton. Things then became rather sticky for Victoria as the bowling attack of New South Wales, especially AA Mailey and the later inclusion of HL Collins,.led to a regular fall of wickets. A late order batsmen and a bowler then weathered the storm and did remarkably well to put in the final 137 runs to win the game.

CW 1920/21 (S24) Game 3: New South Wales vs South Australia
New South Wales vs South Australia
Sydney CG
3rd-4th, 6th-10th December 1920
Lineups:
New South Wales- ATE Punch, J Bogle, TJE Andrws, JM Taylor, W Bardsley, C Kelleway, JM Gregory, FA O'Keeffe, HSTL Hendry, WAS Oldfield, AA Mailey
South Australia- CE PEllew, VY Richardson, LV Pellew, PD Rundell, DM Steele, AJ Richardson, DM Henry, HHM Bridgman, CL Winser, HM Fisher, AW Wright
First Innings
South Australia were forced to endure another rough innings, this time at the hands of New South Wales' confident attacking style at the crease. ATE Punch's demise for lbw off HM Fisher led to the beginning of a 261 run partnership that looked unstoppable until a fantastic piece of fielding at backward short leg took care of TJE Andrews. J Bogle and JM Taylor followed quickly before the runs started flowing again.
NSW 703-7 dec.
J Bogle 198; TJE Andrews 126; W Bardsley 103
HHM Bridgman 2-53; AW Wright 2-168
The reply stated poorly for SA with both starters back in the pavilion with 27 runs on the board, but then they found their own batting magic and set to work on cutting into the New South Wales lead. Wickets were hard to come by through the middle order with a pair of tons being score among three half-century scores. Despite the excellence shown at the crease, New South Wales still enforced the follow on (NB: I neglected to keep track of when the follow-on rules changed from 120 runs to 200).
NSW 703-7 dec.
SA 573
AJ Richardson 174; LV Pellew 126
AA Mailey 4-156; HSTL Hendry 3-116
Second Innings
The opening partnership held on much better second time around and LV Pellew had no spectacular fielding to stop him again. PD Rundell and DM Steele, who scored 73 and 54 in the first innings, were out for ducks, and AJ Richardson was stopped a single run short of a half-century.. On the other side it was all about AA Mailey's dominance, taking eight wickets, six of which came in a row.
NSW 703-7 dec.
SA 573 + 462
LV Pellew 206*; VY Richardson 81; HHM Bridgman 50
AA Mailey 8-142; HSTL Hendry 1-85
J Bogle and TJE Andrews would not repeat their stellar showings in the first innings, falling for 20 and 1 respectively, but another pair of centurions kicked on for the team to win a long match.
NSW 703-7 dec. + 333-3
