Casey South Melbourne set a total of 212 in the first innings, and we couldn’t chase it down, getting bowled out for 171.
Casey South Melbourne added another 209 runs almost batting out the whole day which left them a lead of 250 runs.
Carlton had 36 overs to chase down 250 and wow was it a thriller!
Evan Gulbis and Mackenzie Harvey set the boys off to a flyer which set them up to continue throughout the innings. Evan finished on 62 off 37, Tom Smyth 61* off 46 and Connor Rutland hit the winning runs finishing on 43* off 27.
Carlton chased down 250 with 5 overs to spare in what was one of the most incredible grand finals ever played in Premier Cricket history!

Q: Carlton Cricket Club First Grade Premiers 1956-57 - Dramatic Premiership

Dramatic Premiership

Season 1956-57 was a great one for Carlton. The final four was in doubt until the last ball was bowled in the home and home series, and Carlton’s dramatic rise from almost a hopeless position to the premiership captured the imagination of the cricket public.

In the first three rounds of the season, North Melbourne won a one-day game by 17 runs. Heavy rain washed out the opening day of the second round, but Carlton went on to defeat St. Kilda by 49 runs, and the Cup Day fixture saw Hawthorn-East Melbourne win by 40 runs.
