Match notes
The wicket was quite good for batting and at the same time gave the bowlers some assistance, of which they took full advantage. Two dropped catches by South Australian fieldsmen probably gave Queensland the match. Locastro was put down second ball and then stayed to add 57 with DF Spanner. In the second innings another catch went begging soon after Todd was dismissed in a dreadful fielding misunderstanding.
