THE HONG KONG NOMADS HOME FOOTBALL

LAST MATCH OF WEST COUNTRY

TOUR

PLAY AND PLAYERS REVIEWED

Continuing his account of the tour of the Hong Kong Nomads in the West of England, Mr. E. dhlit, our cricket correspondent, gires_the_following, description of the final witch, against Sid-

musith.

The Last Match. On the next day the Nomicis visited the delightful-if small idmouth ground, which lies beside the sea front. F. S. W. Smith gave place to Hamilton but otherwise the team was as before. So as not to spoil the record Reed lost the toss for the fifth time running: and Sidmouth-a weak side save for E. A. Fulcher-the Devon bat-nail George Wright, who has played at fot of cricket in Ceylon--took first innings. Two wickers fell cheaply and then these two batsmen put on fifey runs before Wright was well taken by Reod of Alan Reid, whom he had hit for fourteen runs in the over in which he was out! The ALUM WIK not working! Twenty more runs were added when Beck shot a very fast one past Fulcher's defence (78-4-95), after ค very

One of the most interesting re- sticky inuings. Two wickets fell at sults of the Tour is that we can the same total, and the seventh now draw some sort of comparison ighty-one, but then the eighth put between cricket in Hong Kong and on twenty two.

Įbers of the team to come on tour every summer. In fact the only brick dropped was at Taunton where the spectators confidently expected us to turn out in pig- tail and asked for their money back when we did not. Life how ever is made up of these little difficulties. The thanks of all the players are due to Erie Mitchell and Dicky Richardson for the vast amount of spade work they put in, while the former's secretarial work in England was really excellent, And I cannot help thinking that sixch tours as these little but cheerful hand from a far country do much for the game in England, and perhaps are not unhelpful from the Imperial, point of view..

Bus After a Shaky Start. The usual pair opened for the Nomads to the bowling of Fulcher slow spinners with a bit of swerve aud of Wright" who bowled pretty fast with an appreciable swing. The start was shaky as, with three runs only on the board, Anderson was bowled by a fast one for a duck, while Sayer left at twenty-three and Mitchell for forty. fivo. Richardson and McFarlan however batted very well and soon proved that Sidmouth had no bowl. gbeyond their opening pair, and they made the game safe by put ting on exactly a hundred runs for the fourth wicket before Richard- son was out for a nice eighty-two which included eleven fours and a six. The hat wieket fell fairly soon as McFarlan was out for forty- three which included soven, fours. When stumpa were drawn the score stood at a hundred and seventy for six wickets.

The most noteworthy batting off in the Stragglers and Dumpland bowling performances were: ings games-the hardest matches. Anderson was really sounder, 33.40 for the same number of innings, as he made a good score in each of the two big games, and had his only duck against the weakest side. McFarlan, fourth with 23.00 for three innings.-did well and show.. ed that on a fast true wicket he is a very useful bat. Mitchell played some very useful knocks and was most unlucky once in being run out when seemingly in for a big score. His average was 19.90 for five knocks. Smith, 18,75 for four innings, played an invaluable knock off 57 against the Stragglers but did little else. The rest were rather disappointing though Sayer's first innings against the Dumplings was a very good one.

The Bowling."

Apart from figures Beck was far and away the best bowler ca the side and did most of the work. He bowled as fast as he does in Hong Kong and was an

absolute glutton for work. In- deed, had his fieldsmen behind the wicket been a little kinder to him, he would have returned much better figures, and the "lack of a left-hander to give a contrast from the other end did not help him. On the other hand, he found that on English wickets he could hit the stumps without having to pitch the ball up to the length of a half volley, and he had some beautiful wickets "bowled. Our opponents everywhere regarded him as a bowler above ordinary Club, aver- age.

It Was

played for Hong Kong at one time or another, but Beck, Reid, An- derson, Mitchell and Richardson are the only ones who would be likely to make the Interport side this year. In Hong Kong I do not think we should rate it as superior to two or three first League sides in the Season 1932-1933. As if turned out the bowling was excel- lent even with Alan Reid dead off. The fielding was very fair, but the batting was uneven and there was far too much tail. As for our opponents, the Club Cricket in Devon and Somerset is not so good in June as in August, We beat the two weaker sides very easily. But for the rain I think there is little. doubt that we should have beaten South Devon who are pretty, useful Both the Stragglers and Dumplings turned out excellent batting sides, and their bowling, if not brilliant, was of good length and never got loose. We had the worst of the draw with the Straggless but it was the first match, and not only. did our bowlers stiffen on the second day, but the rain robbed them of their chance to do much.
