Malaya tore a muscle in his thigh when running between the wickets. A comrade came out to run for him, but Mr. Pinsent found himself unable to continue. He was carried from the field sitting on a bat held by Lieut. Colonel L. C. Stevens and Mr. H. E. Grevett, and was then taken in a car to the Pier head for removal to his ship. His score was 41.
