Hung, Burnett, McKenzie, and Baxter, the Police will have to fight very hard for runs.
Kowloon will be ill-advised to take their task too lightly. Although their opponents, on paper, are not nearly as powerful, they have. enough material at their disposal to cause an upset. In Pope and Baker, they have undoubtedly the finest pair of opening bowlers in the Lea- gue and even if they do not meet with a great deal of success, they are sufficiently accurate to keep the rate of scoring down.
