The match at the Hong Kong Cricket Ground was played to mark the closing of the historic ground, noted for its links to British Colonianism. The Rothmans-Cathay Pacific team included four former Australian Test captains, Neil Harvey, Bob Simpson, Ian Johnson and Ian Craig and other Test players. In addition to Larwood, other former players who attended the event as 'Guests of Honour' included Clarrie Grimmett, Bert Oldfield, Bill Brown and Jack Chegwyn, who captained the Australian team that played in the match to celebrate the centenary of the Ground in 1952. In the 'Bodyline' series of 1932/3 Larwood famously knocked Oldfield unconscious with a short ball. In later years they became great friends
