First Innings
A solid if unspectacular performance saw Victoria pass the three-hundred mark on a very unstable pitch, but it's something they'll take after starting out 84-4
VIC 302
H Trumble 62; JH Stuckey 60
MA Noble 3-61; A Coningham 2-28
Another lead-by-example effort from LW Pye helped to avoid any follow-on, but NSW were certainly up against it at the midway mark.
VIC 302
NSW 255
LW Pye 93; A Coningham 48
H Trumble 4-82; TS Warne 3-51
Second Innnings
A much more assured performance had seemingly put this game out of reach as Victoria felt confident enough to declare at the end of day four.
VIC 302 + 367-5 dec
NSW 255
J Worrall 124; H Graham 110
A Coningham 1-48
A dramatic last-wicket stand made things more interesting than they should have been, but New South Wales still fell well short of the mark.
VIC 302 + 367-5 dec
NSW 255 + 355
MA Noble 111; A Coningham 48; ACK Mackenzie 44*
JF Giller 3-72; TS Warne 3-83; CE McLeod 3-87
Victoria wins by 59 runs
