MALAYA "BOB UP SEVERELY FROM BELOW"
ASTONISHING DISPLAY AGAINST SHANGHAI
PATCHY WITH A BRILLIANT .
REAR GUARD ACTION
AND WHAT ABOUT TO-DAY?
(By R. Abbit)
In the days "when, Devadatta was King in Benares" and I believe the world had not been blessed by the appearance of Mr. R. Abbit (Printers, just make sure you get that 'blessed' right!) there used to be a song called "Bob up severely.from below.'

N. had but in to take the edge. of the bowlers only Inated a ball or two. 24/2/0, and not so good. Then came the first of. Ene stands. Burn played very good cricket. It was slow of course. but the bowling was ton good. He was also put down twice in quick succession-(What did Mr. Gladstong say in 18877) but his innings was of sterling value, and B. S. Gill played as if he could Bee the ball as big as a football. Indeed, when at seventy-four he played poor shot to one of Iench's spinners to give a simple
