    Sunday August 7, 2011 Bhanuka's younger brother Shanuka collecting the coveted prize on his behalf from Chief guest Sidath Wettimuny riday, August 5 was a day the schoolboy cricketers of Sri Lanka will long remember. They were rewarded for their hard and untiring efforts for the F2010 season. Bata and the Sunday Times together with officials of the Sri Lanka School Cricket Association, Association of Cricket Umpires and top cricketers of yesteryear and made a grand effort to pick and choose the best schoolboy cricketers and teams. These young cricketers will undoubtedly contribute to the national stream in years to come. The grand night, the awards ceremo- ny, of the 32nd Bata-the Sunday Times Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year kicked off on Friday at the BMICH in Colombo with the distinguished patronage of former national cricketer and present interim committee member of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), Sidath Wettimuny as the chief guest.

  • Bertie Wijesinha Was the Cricket Coach and Served on the Tutorial Staff During Warden Canon De Saram's Period
    Mr Bertie Wijesinha was the Cricket Coach and served on the tutorial staff during Warden Canon De Saram's period. He was also House Master at Miller. The precious legend...: Bertie Wijesinha 90 not out on May 24 by Rohan Wijesinghe CRICKET: A slight frame is poised to blow out 90 candles on the 24th of May 2010. That’s Reginald Bertram Wijesingha for you. The oldest living Sri Lankan cricketer. I found the legend, blessed with charm to spare, chilling it out in his sitting room, walls peppered with hi s family photograph. Seldom has such versatility found residence in one human being. Cricketer, coach, commentator, curator, administrator, teacher besides being the “loveliest of dad”. Truly awesome Beneath his gentle manner lurked infinite dignity, compassion and modesty. The man of many summers then shepherded me to his living room, at 180/1/A Watarappola Road, Mount Lavinia , his cabinets bursting with scrap books, 62 in all, bordes of lovely stats to mull over, a feast of good reading for another day perhaps. Glory days at SSC To open the salvo he spoke of the glory days when his beloved SSC made a serious assault on all the titles. No “may the best side win nonsense” with crusty ‘FC’ at the helm team saturated with a unique Bertie Wijesinha - collection of exotics such as Sargo Jayawickreme, Fairlie Dalpethado, represented S. M. K. Albert, Hector Perera, Lucian de Zoysa and C.I. Gunasekera. Thomas’, SSC and Rushed interview in full swing, our genial legend never ever denigrated Ceylon at cricket anyone of anything.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

    Journal of the Melbourne Cricket Club Library Issue 40, Summer 2009 This Issue From our Summer 2009/10 edition Ken Williams looks at the fi rst Pakistan tour of Australia, 45 years ago. We also pay tribute to Richie Benaud's role in cricket, as he undertakes his last Test series of ball-by-ball commentary and wish him luck in his future endeavours in the cricket media. Ross Perry presents an analysis of Australia's fi rst 16-Test winning streak from October 1999 to March 2001. A future issue of The Yorker will cover their second run of 16 Test victories.

This unique series combines aspects of the expanding study of sport in the global society, providing comprehensiveness and comparison under one editorial umbrella. It is particularly timely, with studies in the political, cultural, anthropological, ethnographic, social, economic, geographical and aesthetic elements of sport proliferating in institutions of higher education. Eric Hobsbawm once called sport one of the most significant practices of the late nineteenth century. Its significance was even more marked in the late twentieth century and will continue to grow in importance into the new millennium as the world develops into a ‘global village’ sharing the English language, technology and sport.
