CLIVE HOWARD
A chief inspector with the Hong Kong Police, the 46-year-old cricket fan is also the tournament director of the annual Hong Kong Cricket Sixes which ends today at the Kowloon Cricket Club. It is no easy job he faces, what with looking for lost balls and looking out for 'Osama bin Laden'.
Osama?
Yes. He is a worry. Last year we had a spectator wearing an Osama bin Laden mask and running around creating trouble. We have increased security measures this time and will be watching out for any disturbing influences or provocative acts.
What steps have been taken? There will be more security men at the grounds. We have also changed the design of the stands with public access being from the rear. There will be no space in front of the stands which will mean less milling around on the boundary. We will also do the usual bag searches. No one will also be able to bring in banners.
Apart from security, what are your other big headaches?
Obviously, the weather. My fingers are crossed that it won't rain.
