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.
