AMAZING GAME AT H.K.C.C.

FINE BOWLING BY NOMANBHOY

(By "The Stumper")

Y defeating the formidable Hong- kong C.C. last Saturday, the In- dians' chances of retaining the Shield bnve been considerably improved. for thrilla ono would have to go far to see a better game. Nobody, least of all the Indians I am sure, expected the strong Club batting to collapse for a muro 411

He stayed in Long enough to see Pearce, Munro and Marton bring dismissed with succes- give balls by Pereira, who was bowling at a great speed. In trying to hit the fast bowler, Pearce was caught at anid-on, while Munro was sent back by a ball which was too fast for him. The last bail was a beauty. Marton, thinking it was going outside the or stump lot it go past, but it broke in just enough to touch the off stump.

THE best bowling performance

other quarter., A.T. Nomanbhoy, playing for the University agudast the Navy at King's Park, captured six wickets for only ten runs. It was a remarkable feat, and has not been surpassed in senior League cricket for a long time, Possessed of a low ne- tion, Nomanbboy needs careful watch- ing on his day, but has not come off Recently. He was relegated to the @econd string a few weeks ago, but I am glad the University skipper has soon fit to reinstate him.

DUE chiefly to Nomanbhoy's effort, the Navy were dismissed for only 20 runs. With no statistics before mo, I cannot any whether thla is o record in senior League cricket, but I know there has not been a lower score for going yuara. The away

TJAD the writer taken the troublo to rend the rules of the English Hockey Association, as contained in their official handbook, he would find that there is no such provision. In fact there is no ruling dealing with the abandonment of matches under nny conditions, and therefore the sug- gested precedent, which it was claim- ed actuated not only the Mamak Co- mitice in coming to their decision, but also prevented the Incognitos from appealing against it, does not, in fact,

THE chief fault seems to lie in the reluctance of players to work in harmony in this matter. Many think the ball should be stopped dead, but that is not the case. The ball should he stopped either by hand or atlek, not necessarily motionless. Thia gives the inners and the centro-for- ward opportunity to co-operate and· the best way of making full nad of, cornera in for the. insido player to stop the ball and allow the centre- forward to take the shot at goal, Practise at this could take place a fow minutes before the game atarta if players are unable to get together at other times,
