First Innings
South Australia won the toss for the opening match and, if not for JC Reedman's majestic 152, the team would not have come close to racking up 305 runs. The rest of the lineup struggled really outside Reedman and a few others.
SA 305
JC Reedman 152; J Darling 49
J Harry 6-78
In reply, Victoria worked hard for their 324 runs with three players going over their half-century mark. Trott unlucky as he fell two runs shy of his century,

A Look Ahead to the 1895/96 (S4) Season
It's back! M.E. and other games have conspired to keep me away from the Sheffield Shield, but now I have two more seasons to report on, and the 95/96 season ready to roll.
New South Wales 13/13 (last year 9/14)
NSW have suddenly found themselves catapulted up as favourites of the Sheffield Shield, and it will take some doing to stop them!
South Australia 9/12 (10/13 last season)
SA have gone backwards a little and will have to work hard to avoid that last place.
Victoria 10/14 (9/14 last year)
Victoria improve their ratings for another year by adding an additional batting card, but is that enough to keep pace with New South Wales?
