Notes
--> Bowling in the Melbourne Cricket Club innings adds 2 runs over

W Bruce's 328 not out was the highest indiviual score recorded in the Australian colonies at that time, passing WL Murdoch's 321 for New South Wales against Victoria in 1881-82. The only Hotham player not to bowl was the wicketkeeper.
