The return tour match against Victoria was almost entirely washed out, except for the second day. Sam Loxton won the toss and batted on a pitch that had sweated under the covers and Victoria promptly crashed to 39/6. Brian Statham (3/23) took the first three wickets, followed by Trevor Bailey (3/22) with the second three. Loxton (27) and Allan Dick (41) made a rescue attempt with a stand of 53, until Bob Appleyard (3/14) took the next three wickets and Johnny Wardle (1/14) finished off the innings for 113. Reg Simpson and captain Peter May both made 33 not out in 99/1 in reply and the match was given up as the rain returned.p199-200, Tyson
