SHEF - Melbourne Cricket Ground
23 November 2012 - Day 4, Session 1
South Australia 2nd Innings
| M. Klinger | 18 | 19 | 2 | 0 | 94.74 |
Resuming on the fourth day on 6-86, Victoria were bowled out for 132 to set the Redbacks a target of 36 to win, which they achieved before lunch.
The visitors needed just seven overs to score 1-36 with Sam Raphael 10 not out and Michael Klinger on 18 after Phil Hughes was out for eight.
Left-arm swing bowler Putland picked up 5-28 off 25 overs in Victoria's second innings.
South Australia are celebrating their first Shield win at the MCG since 1998 and their second victory for the season, climbing to fourth on the table on 12 points.
Victoria remain second on 20.
Putland formed a fine double-act with seamer Chadd Sayers (2-72 and 4-50) while Peter Handscomb top-scored with 50 in Victoria's second dig.
Victoria quickly lost John Hastings (13), Jayde Herrick (18), Handsomb and Louis Cameron (1) on Monday with Putland taking two of the four wickets to fall.
Former Test opener Hughes hit 158 as South Australia scored 443 on Sunday in their first innings in reply to Victoria's 346.
While Hughes jumped to the top of the Shield run-scoring list to push his case for a Test recall, Victoria's Hastings made sure his name was also under discussion.
The Australia A allrounder posted scores of 80 and 13 and claimed 5-66 in South Australia's first innings.
The Bushrangers had been 6-41 in their second innings which was their third-worst start for their first six wickets in a Shield game at the MCG.
Victoria coach Greg Shipperd said losing 6-41 was a disgraceful effort and described his side's batting as woefully under-par.
''Two wins in the last three games, it's starting to turn in the right direction,'' South Australia coach Darren Berry said of a side who were without a victory last season.
Berry says Putland's ability to bowl inswingers to the right-handers is crucial.
''He's take six five-fors in 15 Shield matches. He is a serious bowler,'' Berry said.
''Gary Putland would be an ideal Ashes bowler.
''If an opening comes and that's what I'm going to be pushing with him, and it's not just based on this game.
''They're extraordinary figures, 12-92 off 61 overs. It's an unbelievable effort.
''He should be (talked about) in the same vein as Jackson Bird and Josh Hazlewood.
''He's gone under the radar a little bit but a couple of performances like that and I'm sure they (selectors) will be taking notice.''
Putland boasts 19 wickets at 16.84 in three Shield games this season.
Berry says Hughes must be awfully close to a Test recall after his 158 lifted him to the top of Shield cricket's runscoring list.
''If Hughes plays I think he can bat anywhere in the top six,'' Berry said confidently.
South Australia celebrated their first Shield win at the MCG since 1998, doubling their points tally to 12 from six games.
Victoria remain second on 20 points.
Victoria assistant coach Simon Helmot said the Bushrangers had some major batting flaws to address after their top order collapsed to 5-83 in the first innings and 6-41 in the second dig.
Helmot also said Victoria's bowlers were unable to match Putland's ability to build pressure.
''We probably missed an Andrew McDonald-type in this game who could just hold up an end,'' Helmot said of Victoria's injured allrounder.
''Our inability to execute consistently and be precise enough with the ball was glaringly obvious.''
