The writer has decided to ignore the fact that his confessions came due to the possibility of his disgusted teammates informing the cricket authorities. Whilst one must sympathize with his family on his death, shoe boxes stuffed with money belie the sheer selfish greed of a man trusted and loved by cricket fans all over the world. Topped off by the portrayal as a devoutly religious man, he has surely lived a shameless lie. The world is full of people who con- tinue to break the law but this does not mean we should be lenient with those who confess. Mr. Deshpande may want to rethink his campaign to absolve Cronje and to consider the irreversible disserv- ice done to a gentlemanly sport. Athula Senanayake. The skipper of C. W. W.

One more year passed, and a new beginning is here, so let us welcome the coming year with love, joy, and peace. The New Year is the time when we all are excited about the new opportunities which are going to knock at our doorstep. It is time to forget all the past bad memories and move forward with a positive outlook. Everyone has been very quick to wish 2020 away but, as we reflect on the year that was, we should realise how many lessons we have learnt and how much we must be grateful for. Many of us entered the world of lockdown and were forced into entirely new psychological and social situations. These changes created stronger bonds with our families while looking after each other in the confined space of our own homes. Many of our members resorted to online programs like Zoom to keep our lifelong friendships alive and maintain the camaraderie built up over the years. Due to COVID restrictions, all our key events were cancelled or postponed. During this period, RCOBAA committee decided to assist student Royalists in need of urgent help due to loss of employment and income. A sub-committee was formed to assist the students by purchasing and delivering dry rations. A few of the members from our community and from our membership came forward to assist with generous donations, free legal, accounting, and medical help.
