Richardson Bowls Well Richardson certainly, deserved the number of overs he bowled. One would have thought he was included for his bowling unt!l!
at the bowling analysis looking one found him to be a third-change bowler. Ho certainly bowled well on Saturday.
I was amazed at the way the Hong Kong bowling was handled. It looked weak enough on paper 23 without requiring poor handling. 25 Hamilton, though bowling far 16 from well on Saturday, did not get another opportunity until late in the Shanghai Innings, when hei broke up a dangerous looking part- 4nership and finished off the inn- ings. I feel that he should have been called upon much soonor. Musson, too, was badly. neglected. 0 He bowled well on Saturday but
was not called upon at all yester day. It makes one wonder why Reid was over-bowled at Hong Fall of the Wickets.

BOWLING ANALYSIS.
Two disastrous bowling changes proved expensive when Richardson relieved Reid at the Pavilion end against Leach, and Murray.
The
latter batsman hit him for 14 in one over but he captured Leach's wicket for the addition of two fur- ther runs. With Ianacs at the wicket Owen Hughes relieved Richardson and was hit for 17 runs in two overs. Thus our slow bowlers gave away 83 runs in four overs.
The main. features of the match in my candid opinion were as fol low:-
1. Leach's shrewd captaincy.
2. Shanghai's definite superior-
