Murali went pass him and then retired. Shane always acknowledged the fact that Murali took more wickets . They were close friends. Shane flew to Sri Lanka soon after the tsunami and visited the Galle Cricket Ground with Murali – arriving there by THE LEGENDhelicopter which landed on the iconic cricket ground. He was concerned about the turf and offered to help to get the turf growing again. It was soon restored to it’s original beauty. ShaneShane’s larrikin streak make him a great favourite of the crowd in Sri Lanka.

NIGEL introduced us to Prof. Ariyananda as soon as we arrived in Colombo after the tsunami of 2004. He was certain that Prof. Ari would look after us as we reached Galle. Thus was the start of a long association AUSLMAT have had with the Karapitiya hospital. NIGEL was a brilliant, kind and generous man who had a wide interest in many things associated with Sri Lanka. He provided the first gym equipment for Sri Lanka cricket – flown down at his expense from England. He often entertained Sri Lankan cricketers at his residence in London. His generosity extended to the building of a hospital close to Adam’s Peak purely for the poor estate labourers. He entertained Jennifer and I at his home in Colombo and also on his estate at Maskeliya. We are proud to have known Nigel for many years and are grateful to him for the introduction to Prof. Ari. Nigel studied at St. Aloysius College Galle before he went to London. He arranged for the teaching of English to poor students in Colombo. Our sympathies have been extended to Denise. 38 MARCH 2022 PAHANA - LIGHT & LIFE The first Sri Lankan community newspaper with SINHALA | ENGLISH | TAMIL
