- A dispute arose after the umpires had tossed, Victoria winning.
The New South Wales players insisted that, as the visiting
team, they had the choice; Victoria eventually relented and
were sent in.
- No boundaries were in operation for this match.
- Elliott dismissed Murray with the first ball of the visitors'
innings to claim a wicket with his first ball in First Class
Cricket.
- Kington kept wicket in the second innings.
- New South Wales Wicket-keeper not named (various fielders back-stopping,
minus protective equipment)
