Bradman played a sparkling innings, and, partnered with Jordan,. completely altered the aspect of tho game. Bradman’s innings was one of the best seen on the Cricket Ground for some time. He scored at the rate almost of a run a minute, using his feet well and making capital boundary shots all round the ground. He knocked up 18 in one over from Grimmett.

South Australia commenced cautiously, runs coming very slowly. Schneider and Richardson were the only batsmen to display any confidence. In their first innings New South Wales made 291 and South Australia 248.
