Notes
--> Southland first innings: 50 in 55 minutes
--> A Jackson (1) 100 in 92 minutes
On the second day play started at 11.13am but after just 7 minutes play ceased for 15 minutes due to heavy rain
Rain again forced the players from the field at 11.58am and became heavier so lunch was taken with play finally resuming at 1.52pm
WH Ponsford and A Jackson put on 220 for the first wicket in the Australians first innings
WC Alexander scored 1 five in the Australians first innings
