Herby Taylor of their team to extend England's has a high opinion of his abilities, best. But so many young players, and has given him personal coach- unknown to first-class cricket four ing. years ago, have cone along that the most conservative and shrewd of judges in South Africa are ex- pressing the most sanguine hopes for the forthcoming tour.

Herby Taylor, the skipper of the 1924 team in England, is of course, the veteran of this, the youngest team ever sent from South Africa, and probably the youngest ever to have gore Or tour, And yet Taylor, if he is perhaps past his prime, is by no means old as first- class cricketers go, being well on the right side of 40,

The work of their backs, espe cially Leg Chin-sang on the right, was a feature of their display, while their halves, although some- what patchy, got through plenty of good work. Their forwards were inconsistent and faulty in front of goal.

It was unfortunate that Yong Liang should sustain a rather bad gash in his head early in the game, for although he continued | it considerably effected his play. Nevertheless he tried hard throughout, and, considering his advantage, did very well indeed. The inside forwards of the local side were good, but the wingers not consistent, especially the outside left, who repeatedly spoilt good movements by his Jack of judgment.

Malayan Half-Backs Good The strong point in the Malayan Chinese side was in their half-back line, Again the shining light was Chee Lim, who played a really brillant game throughout. His tackling, though vigorous at times, was very effec- tive, and he did a tremendous lot of work both in defence and at- tack. He received excellent back- ing from his wing partners, and it was mainly owing to the domin- ance of this line that the pretty tactics of the visitors were nulli- fied. Cheok Wah and Yeok Soon were steady at back, while Ah Kow, who had the greater amount of work to do of the two keepers, got through everything in a clear-

cut manner.

The deciding gaol of the match came in the first few minutes. A melee took place near the Hong Kong goal, and several players, including Yong Liang, jumped up to head the ball. The leather came out of the crush to Boon: Lin, who immediately put it into the net. When the crowd cleared it was seen that Yong Liang was injured, and after going off to have his wound dressed, he plucki- ly returned.

Mr. Tan Lee-wan referred the game.

Fielding First

The South African Selection Com- mittee have made no secret of the l'act ever since 1924 that fielding was to be one of the first considera- tions, and it was well known that however brilliant a player might be he would not be considered for à moment unless his fielding were above reproach. The policy more than justified itself in the last series of tests in South Africa, when the fielding of the young Springbok side was very nearly per fect at times.

Still more so does the adjective. brilliant apply to the present side, since solid batsmen like Com- maille and Susskind have been dropped because of slowness in the field. Youth covers a multitude of sins, and if there are some familiar

names missing from the sixteen who are to tour England there are some young players who have big careers before them.
