This wasn't actually part of the final. They played a special frame for the Newsreel after one of the sessions - so I'd guess the masse strokes were set up.
yeah i think todays players dont realise how good they've got it what when you compare the short modern day matches to this! But also back then no one could really make a living at it - theres more pressure on players today who put all their lifes efforts into a game to survive. so hence this pressure - hence their behaviour. So its not so bad to be like a robot is it? I mean its not easy to just have fun and chill when you are playing for your livelihood. :)
