The combination of his strong knowledge of the game, his ability to reach the young people he coached and his instillment of values, morals, and the spirit of cricket in the players has had a significant impact on the growth of the kids that have passed through his teams not only as cricketers, but as people as well.\u00a0<strong>Over the 11 years, Eric coached in 132 games and amassed 87 wins culminating in a winning percentage of 67%,<\/strong>\u00a0an amazing feat considering the teams would always be of wavering ability sometimes consisting of kids playing cricket for the first time, he also coached in a semi-final and four grand finals one of which was played at the WACA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Eric was not only a great coach but a great person, mentor and father figure and the mark he has left on the players including myself is indelible.

My friend Chandana Abayawardana is the current President of the Melbourne Trinity O B A.\u00a0 The present Principal of Trinity was Chandana\u2019s classmate and, of course, Chandana is in close touch with him. Guess what I would like to do?\u00a0 I would like a framed copy of your Life Membership Induction Speech to be displayed at Trinity College Kandy, perhaps in the College Hall or the Library.

He will need your permission, of course!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">By the way, Chandana \u00a0had another fairly well-known Trinity classmate as well.
