Abstract | The fifth Hong Kong Cricket Sixes proved sceptics wrong as an enthusiastic crowd exceeding 6,000 cheered the West Indies to a cup win over India at the new venue of the floodlit Hong Kong Stadium. Brian Catton, executive director of the organiser, Cricket World International says that this is a boost for cricket world-wide and proves games like the Sixes, with its special sparkle, free-flowing style and quick results, have come to stay. Particularly for Hong Kong, the fast game is ideal and grips spectator interest. But in the event, Hong Kong could not match the fire and fervour of its more experienced opponents, losing all its matches. |
