Lineups:

First Innings
South Australia failed to get into much of a rhythm, and it was left to the 9th man before anyone reached forty runs let alone a half-century.
SA 291
WA Hewer 56*
FB Collins 4-87
It was a similar story for Victoria, but with half the order leaving the crease with six or less runs. They would be disappointed that they fell almost fifty runs behind.
SA 291
VIC 248
JH Stuckey 71
E Jones 4-63; HP Kirkwood 3-16
Second Innings
Despite four ducks and another five batsmen only reaching 32 or less, South Australia were well into pole position thanks to a pair of remarkable performances.
SA 291 + 416
VIC 248
N Claxton 152; FT Hack 145
M Ellis 3-89; 3-105
Victoria could only improve on their first innings display by a single run as they fell to their second defeat of the season thanks to more wild inconsistency.
SA 291 + 416
VIC 248 + 249
FJ Laver 59; D Mailer 51
JPF Travers 3-43; E Jones 3-60
South Australia wins by 210 runs.
