The Helding:
The ground felding was very good on both sides; I think Hong Kong were a shade the better and faster, but, on the other hand, Shanghai throw in better. Booth has a per- fectly uncanny way of hitting the wicket overy time he throws in. I think I only saw two catches put down-one on each side, and one was well-nigh impossible."
