I cannot help but end on a sour note. Crisp and Rhodesia made a good start reducing their visitors to 15-2 with Crisp taking both wickets, but he got just one more, Herby Taylor and William Foley both making centuries and in the end Rhodesia lost by an innings. Crisp did however return from his travels, and there was enough time left for him to take up his journalistic reins again before setting off with Herby Wade’s touring party to England in 1935, england football top news of his selection for which had apparently reached him whilst he was on Kilimanjaro and might well have been the catalyst that brought the adventurer back to civilisation.
