DrAkai, actually in 90's. We use to go and sit in Nalanda class rooms even when teachers were there. They knew where we have come from, but never chased us out. We participated in few dramas in Nalanda. Good old days!!

Naleen, I remember Manjula Thenuwara's feat as well. I think Arjuna could not play in that big match because he was touring with the national team .

Does Thilan Wijesinghe's record still stand? It was a brilliant match saving performance.

By the way our Sardarji is still around! here are some:
-------------------------------------------------------

Sardarji with two red ears went to his doctor. The doctor asked him what had happened to his ears and he answered, 'I was ironing a shirt and the phone rang - but instead of picking up the phone I accidentally picked up the iron and stuck it to my ear.''Oh Dear!' the doctor exclaimed in disbelief. 'But .. what happened to your other ear?''The scoundrel called back.'

Santa Singh was travelling in a crowded bus. He was carrying the Passport size photograph of his son (for college admission). Accidently, the photograph fell down from his pocket. He started searching for it frantically & found the same on the floor of the bus. Politely, he asked the saree-clad female, standing in front of him, 'Can you lift that saree? I wanna take a photograph' The rest is history. He was beaten so badly that he had to be admitted in a hospital. He was surprised to see Banta Singh on the bed next to him, in a still worse condition. Banta started to explain his 'Adventure'. He had gone to a remote village on some work & due to his high level of intelligence, couldn't finish the work on time. He had missed the last bus from that place. He couldn't find any Hotel. So he approached a nearby house and asked the Owner whether he can stay there for the night. The Owner replied, ?I have 2 grown up daughters. Sorry, I can't allow you to stay'. He approached the next house and asked whether he can stay there for the night. The Owner replied, 'I have 3 grown up daughters. Sorry, I can't allow you to stay'. He went towards the next house and without taking any risks, asked, 'Do you have 'grown up daughters?? The Owner asked, 'WHY?????????' Banta replied,' I wanted to stay here for a night.....

Naleen,

Yes I remember. Rohitha Perera was the captain in 1980-1981 when Arjuna was selected schoolboy cricketer of the year although that year Sumithra Warnakulasooriya of Royal scored more runs.

In 1982 Arjuna hardly played a game. However, in the national team he was a tremendous success as a captain. We are thankful to him for the way he handled the Aussies. I think Dav Whatmore attuned Arjuna to face those conditions as he knew the aussie minds very well.

By the way, the Ananda-Nalanda series (for that matter any other big match) was more interesting before we got test status and the schools produced better players. A crowd of 3000 is normal in a school match. Whatever happened to our school cricket. If we want to produce good cricket. there is no doubt the we must have very competitive school tournaments. Conducting provincial tournaments (as first class matches) will not help at all.

ONE DAY:

Sri Lanka is off to a good start with 18/0 after 3 overs
