Before that I would hvave a slant on School Cricket of Yesteryear, JVP and Police.
Police First
Our Police Force was good before N. M. Perera and Sirimavo Bandaranayake regime.
DIG. C. C. Dissanayake, Sarem and Zoyza were convicted in 1962 of a coup to overthrow the government. I believe Catholic Church was behind this SAGA but things were hushed up.
By the time P. B. Herath became the DIG under Senior Premadasa, police was degraded to a very bad state.
Cricket Second
T. B. Kelegamuva and D. S. Senanayake were former cricketers who made Police Serviceman worth remebering.
JVP poisoning me at Indugoda Hospital.
