Match notes
On the first day Victoria Colts closed an hour before the scheduled time for stumps but after half an hour of the Queensland Colts innings a light appeal was upheld at 6.10 p.m. On the second day light and rain ended play at 4.50 p.m. with one hundred minutes playing time lost while on the third day light brought about an end to play at 6.24 p.m. with still six minutes of playing time remaining. In all 126 minutes of playing time was lost.
On the final day Victoria Colts closed their second innings leaving Queensland Colts a victory target of 237 runs in 163 minutes. A good attempt was made to chase the runs but wickets fell and in the end Morgan and Charchalis set out to play out time until the light intervened.
This was the first match between the Colts teams of these two states. PW Dredge had been selected in the Victorian Colts team for this series but withdrew and was replaced by RJ McCurdy.
