Notes
--> Bowling in the Australians first innings adds 2 runs under
--> Oamaru second innings batting adds 10 runs under
--> TW Garrett completed a hat-trick in the Oamaru first innings (Booth, McDonald, Robinson)

---

Although both S&B and Reese show one innings each (Reese has Australia winning by 43 runs), Oamaru batted a second time and the match was thus drawn.
W.L.Murdoch kept wicket in the first innings and Blackham in the second.
Nearly 1000 spectators attended the match -- the greatest number ever seen for any sporting occasion in the district.
