"Kings of Cricket" good reading
By Peter Christie
Tyronne Fernando Barrister-at-Law, former President of the Board of
Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka, Minister of Media in the United
National Party has published his sixth book. Proceeds from the sale
of his new book "Kings of Cricket" will go to the Colombo South
Cricket School and other projects involved in the development of the
game.
President's Counsel Tyronne Fernando's first book was on sensational
Pauline de Croos who was convicted of the murder of six year old
Gotabaya Kirimbakanda in the late sixties.
The book that makes very good reading and has a fascinating chapter
on the History of Cricket in Sri Lanka with the painting of the first
cricket field -- Galle Face green as a bonus and has other details of
the growth of cricket hitherto unknown to the public. The book that
has been described as a must to all cricket lovers by none other than
Ali Bacher, Chairman, Development Committee International Cricket
Council, is full of interesting comments by one who will have to be
thanked for the popularity of the game in Sri Lanka and the image of
our teams overseas.
