A good start to the league after the break and a massive one. Batsmen were not upto the mark except Bardsley While bowlers were totally dominating and ripped the South Africans apart.

258 was a bridge too far on a turning track.

Code:
South Australia     266 & 203
Auckland            212 & 160
   
South Australia won by 97 runs
Man of the match: Clem Hill

Points: South Australia 11, Auckland 0
 
Didn't expected a win to be fair but we did it somehow because of some excellent batting by Hill and unplayable bowling by Crawford.


BTW it should be South Australia v Auckland not south Australia v NSW @The Author
 
Auckland v Kent

Ted Dillon*
Punter Humphreys
James Seymour
Kenneth Hutchings
Frank Woolley ^
Jack Hubble†
Wally Hardinge
Bill Fairservice ^
Charlie Blythe ^
Arthur Fielder ^
Douglas Carr ^

We'll go unchanged from last season. Didn't see anyone new who would make a big difference.
