Sylvestrians field a formidable Cricket Team


 St. Sylvester’s College, Kandy will field one of the strongest combinations in schools this season, as they posses a well knit side with many all-rounders who could deliver the goods. They have achieved this the hard way as they do not have a playground of their own. They only have a small playing field which is only good for practising and matches cannot be played as the ground itself is very small and devoid of grass.

College cricket team 2011/2012

St. Sylvester’s College will be led this year by all-rounder and fourth year coloursman Ruwantha Ekanayaka. A very good left hand bat who scored over 800 runs last season and also captured 40 wickets with his right arm leg spinners. Another fourth year coloursman Waruna Wijesinghe is the vice captain of the side. He will spear the attack which brought him a haul of 30 wickets last season. He also scored 650 runs last season and was one of the mainstays of the side.St. Sylvester’s College will be led this year by all-rounder and fourth year coloursman Ruwantha Ekanayaka. A very good left hand bat who scored over 800 runs last season and also captured 40 wickets with his right arm leg spinners.

 The team is coached by former Sylvestrian and Kandy Youths CC captain Roland Perera, who has returned to coaching St. Sylvester’s College after a lapse of six years. It must be recalled that cricket at St. Sylvester’s College took the high spots under the guidance of Roland Perera in 1994 when they became all-island schools Division One cricket champions and won the Coca Cola Trophy. That was their best ever cricket season. Assisting Roland Perera in his coaching endeavours is another Old Sylvestrian Gunasekera who coached them on an earlier occasion and also coached Kingswood College. He has played Sara Trophy cricket for Sri Lanka Air Force and Kandy Youths Cricket Club. In batting Faiz Ahamed has improved leaps and bounds, paying scant respect to the opponents bowling. This season against President’s College, he slammed a quick fire 90 in just 35 balls which included six sixes and 10 fours and over exuberance denied him the chance of scoring the fastest hundred this season.

 Apart from this trio the others who could be relied upon for runs are Dushan Malalasena, Sumedha Dissanayake, 15-year-old Hansamal Perera (son of the famous St. Sylvester’s Mervyn Perera), Nimesha Mendis, Dilan Mel. Waruna Wijesinghe will open the attack with one of the freshers. But it is their spin attack which has to be feared having a crop of left-arm spinners like Sumedha Dissanayake, Nimesha Mendis and Dushan Malalasena who have bowled with venom and guile this season to have their opponents groping. Two other spinners Dilan Mel, Faiz Ahamed and Indunil Samarananda too have bowled well this season.
In Ranil Meetiyagoda they have a school head who gives the boys a lot of encouragement along with the Deputy Principal Sports - A.K.B. Dodanwela.

 The Sylvestrians could look forward to a very successful season this year.
The others in the pool are Dilip Maduranga, Harsha Wedikara, Dananjaya Hettiarachchi, Nimesha Piyaratne, Chandula Hasantha, Janitha Perera, Sandeep Singh, Upendra Kumara, Chamal Samararatne and J Kugaprashan.
