Notes:

  • Partridge on his final first-class appearance turned in one of his greatest bowling performances in the Eastern Province second innings, including the bowling of Graeme Pollock first ball.
  • Strictly speaking, the final Eastern Province total (2) should be 195, with Den 1 and du Preez 0/77; Den scored 2 runs when only one was needed to win the match and the scorers should have ignored the second, as the match had already been won with the first.
  • This defeat condemned Rhodesia to demotion to the Currie Cup B Section for the 1967/68 season; had they won, they would still have finished bottom of the A Section log, but it would have been more difficult to demote them.
  • Besides Partridge, this was also the final first-class appearance for Frangos (emigrated to Natal), Wallace, Haig and Deudney, and Pithey's as a regular player.
