Notes
--> St Peter's College, Adelaide innings: 300 in 180 minutes
--> W Hill-Smith 100 in 120 minutes

---

The unknown player for St Peter's College, Adelaide was one of RR Longmire, WDG Robertson, GT Colebatch and RA Lee.
At 6PM (scheduled stumps time) on the last (2nd) day, Royal College, Colombo had only lost 8 wickets, meaning the match would be a draw. However their captain Kandiah sportingly offered to play an extra 15 minutes which Downer took advantage of and duly won the match.
