Well, my Aunt did mention that she had seen my grandmother's score books at the Selangor Club and that 'they were a thing of beauty.' Mrs.Kitching Hague, the woman who was born a month after my father in KL in 1922, and whose father died at Changi was also a cricket scorer out there, for Singapore. She tells me that she learned to score at school and that it is a special skill.

Now, in September 2009 I find that the Malaysian Library has digitized the index to the Straits Times and put it online. I found many references to my grandmother, two about the library (one tribute upon her retirement in 1966) and many others related cricket. Only the first paragraph of the articles is shown. One article calls my grandmother 'the grand dame of Malaysian cricket" and has her presenting The Dorothy Nixon trophy for best cricketeer to someone in 1962. The other snippet has one of Australia's top cricket commentators meeting with two of Malaysia's cricketing personalities, one of whom is my grandmother. Hmmm. No wonder she stayed in Malaysia. She had fun. She was a 'somebody.'
