    • Notes:
    • Gripper's 279 not out was a new Currie Cup record, beating the 277* by EAB Rowan for Transvaal against Griqualand West in 1950/51; it was not broken until 1987/88 when AJ Lamb scored 294 for Orange Free State v Eastern Province.
    • Gripper reached 100 in 183 minutes and 200 in 299 minutes; Clarke reached 100 in 198 minutes and Ullyett in 121 minutes.
