First Innings

On an overcast day New South Wales won the toss and went in to bat first, putting up a decent score before losing their last wicket before lunch on day two.

NSW 333- all out

ACK Mackenzie 76; AC Bannerman 66; TW Garrett 62
JC Reedman 4-73

In reply, South Australia had a dodgy start as the bowling looked threatening, but the home side rallyed to lead by 58 runs halfway through day three.

NSW 333
SA 391

A Jarvis 123*; G Giffen 82; WF Giffen 68
TW Garrett 3-72; AC Bannerman 2-43

Second Innings

The wicket had degraded to a point where the bowlers would get a little extra help in the fourth day (one extra bowling card) and South Australia took full advantage to put themselves in full control.

NSW 333 + 209

SE Gregory 46; ST Callway 43*; AC Bannerman 40
JC Reedman 5-61; E Jones 3-50

South Australia were at 29-2, losing Lyons (11) and Reedman (16), but that would be the only scare New South Wales had to offer as SA won by eight wickets.

NSW 333 + 209
SA 391 + 152-2

G Giffen 69*; AH Jarvis 53*
