First Innings
The title would be decided at the SCG with New South Wales and South Australia meeting only once this season, The hosts would be celebrating with a win, otherwise it would go down to the teams' respective quotient ratings for the year.

New South Wales propelled themselves towards retaking the Shield with a two-day batting performance that had them sitting pretty. A pair of century makers led the assault on the Victorian bowlers to leave them hoping for a fantastic reply.

NSW 614-9 dec.
W Bardsley 137; FE McElhone 130; C Kelleway 90; CG Macartney 74; HV Hordern 70
JH Kyle 4-173

Victoria did manage a good reply, but New South Wales still enforced a follow on. A lack of triple-figure hitters hurt the away side as they struggled to hold partnerships together after the third wicket fell for a partnership of 103.
