FACTORS IN OUR DEFEAT.

Let us consider the various factors in our defeat, always admitting that the better side won. Not only was the climate vory trying, for our players are not used to fielding, in a temperature of anything between 110 and 115, but the slow wicket was most upsetting. I have the knack of rising to the occasion. And Colony.

But physical fitness is and we knew this perfectly well all the going to be an absolute essential, and time. The local Sporting Notes in a prospective candidates should keep them.

The trouble is that we have a cricket practice is the thing. People whole lot of men who can make runs cannot afford to spend all September and until the cows come home in leagae half October just getting fit. cricket, but the moment they are in a tig game, they collapse like sheep. It is, of course, largely a question of ex- pericno, and the Malaya side were fortunate in having so many men who had experience of good Club cricket at
