Notes
--> GD Alabaster's XI full substitute: RWR Haley for GD Alabaster (from the second session on the first day)
--> Day 1 Lunch: GM Turner's XI (1) 152/3 (Hutchison ?*)
--> Day 1 Tea: GD Alabaster's XI (1) 20/3 (Anderson ?*, McSkimming 0*)

GD Alabaster suffered a hip injury during the first session on the first day and took no further part in the match
This was a trial to select the Otago Plunket Shield team with the selectors deciding to abandon the match at the end of the second day and play a 40-over trial match on the scheduled third day
Details of the 40-over match played at Logan Park are: BD Milburn's XI 103 (BJ McKechnie 41 with 6 fours), GD Alabaster's XI passed BD Milburn's XI total for the loss of only the wicket of RW Anderson and continued batting after winning (RS Wilson 47*, Anderson 19, WL Blair 66 with 7 fours and 2 sixes, WK Lees 11*)
