Sylvestrians Big Match Fever
According to the records, the Sylvestrians are in the lead with 14 wins against 3 by Vidyartha College. St. Sylvester's College last won in the 2009. Vidyartha College last won in 1967. That was 45 years ago.
St. Sylvester's College will be led by Dushan Malalasena - fifth year coloursman a good leg spinner and left hand who has been in very poor this season.St. Sylvester's College have played 14 matches, won 0 and lost 1 to St. Peter's College and drawn the rest. Sumedha Dissanayake playing in his fourth year is the vice captain of the side. A left arm spinner who took 70 wickets last season and scored 600 runs last season has been played with an arm injury which has prevented him from bowling and also give his best for the team.
The Sylvestrians have been very unfortunate this season as a number of their key players are on the injured list. Left arm spinner Nimesha Mendis who captured 95 wickets last season has not bowled much due to an injury. Harsha Wedikkara too is in the injured list. Thus their key players being out of action, you cannot blame this side for under-performing.
Hansamal Perera with 500 runs including a ton against D.S. Senanayake College. His younger brother 14-year-old Manuja Perera too is shaping to be a good bat. The other batsmen in the team are Indunil Samarananda, Tharindu Hashan, Dilan Mel.
The Sylvestrian pace attack is very brittle and often they into the match with the spinners opening the attack. At present their key bowler is off spinner Indunil Samarananda along with Tharindu Hashan and Dilan Mel.
The team is coached by Sankal Gunasekera with Roland Perera as the consultant coach.
