Dramatic End To Cricket Interport ASIAN CUP WEST, EAST,

NAGAIAH, SCHUBERT TAKE

MALAYA TO VICTORY WITH LAST-WICKET STAND

By ROBERT - TAY

Hongkong's two-week Festival of Cricket could not have come to a more fitting close than it did yesterday when tho "glorious uncertainty of cricket" was demonstrated in full

measure.

Even the most optimistic of the Malayan team's supporters would have given Malaya but the remotest chance of pulling off their third succes- sive post-war interport cricket victory over Hongkong when their last two batsmen Stan Nagalah and Carl Schubert went in to bat. At that stage the Malayans were still 90 runs behind Hongkong's score and there was still more than half a day to go.

But fun favoured the brave
