But we had so much con- fidence in him, we said, ‘okay, this guy knows and we’ll bat first.’ We batted and got 190-odd if I remember right. It wasn’t easy when we were batting as pieces of mud came out of the wicket. But when they went to bat, the wicket had hardened, but the surface was uneven because those pieces had come out and the ball was flying. Ashantha (de Mel) hit two guys on the face. When we travelled in the bus, Sir Gary would stand and talk about his crick- eting experience and jokes. He had an amazing sense of humour.

You felt that you were walking around with the greatest all-rounder in the world and he made sure that everyone knew that he was the greatest. He was very supportive of whatever we did. He told us you guys are as good as any and you guys aren’t second to none. One thing I treasure is that he wrote in one of the magazines commemorat- ing Gamini Dissanayake that we could have been as great as anybody given the opportunities. I treasure that statement by him.

  • Press Release
    Press Release A Sri Lankan’s life in love with cricket It all started with a fully cassocked priest playing cricket in the church green. Then, with a plastic bat in hand, a kid got going on a dusty driveway. Having been privy to quite some water flowing under bridges of cricket, Ranjan Mellawa traversed across exotic lands in eleven countries, pursuing his love of the game. Believe it or not, he had been present at virtually all epic moments in Sri Lanka cricket, including six World Cup finals. Winds Behind The Willows is a fascinating, informative story; a ringside seat portraying the years of Sri Lanka’s march to prominence in the context of the world game. As a fan and as a student of the game, Mellawa’s passion for cricket shines through every page of the book. Its interesting off-field anecdotes and mini-dramas, some involving famous cricketers, take you beyond the live cricket score on the card. The story seamlessly flows from the island nation’s pre-Test cricket days and spills over into his spell as the secretary of Ragama CC, a first-class cricket club in Sri Lanka, enabling him to relate some hitherto unpublished, firsthand accounts of Sri Lanka’s chaotic latter-day cricket administration. Amid the struggles for a balanced work-life, Mellawa recalls the opportunities he created for talented young cricketers, to take the next step and reach the top. The book also shares the rich life skills he developed and lessons learnt from the game's many alluring features.

  • Cricket - the Way It Should Be Played Ananda Nalanda - 81St Battle of the Maroons by Varuna Ratnaweera
    Cricket - the way it should be played Ananda Nalanda - 81st Battle of the Maroons by Varuna Ratnaweera Next Saturday and Sunday, 6 th and 7 th March we will all have the pleasure of witnessing one of the best schools cricket encounters in Sri Lanka when the Battle of the Maroons, between Ananda and Nalanda, is worked out at the SSC grounds for the 81st occasion. This is considered as one of the best, not only because these two schools have produced so many great cricketers in the past but more importantly as the event has been and continues to be worked out with great friendship and camaraderie setting an example on how this great game should be played. The above picture of a car carrying two flags of Ananda and Nalanda was nominated the “Picture of the day” in the Daily Mirror on 7 th March 2009 demonstrating - to quote from the paper carried that day – “what the country needs very much at this point in time – peace and harmony”. We should all be thankful to Daminda Harsha Perera who had captured this photograph during the first session of the Maroons’ Battle last year. With that timely click of his camera he reminded the rest of the country what cricket should be all about, a game between two teams, not to outdo each other but to learn the lessons of good qualities it offers while fostering friendship and camaraderie across boundaries irrespective of any differences. This is the spirit in which the Maroons Battle has been worked out over the last 80 years.
