In doing so he also broke records for both the highest aggregate (325 runs in five innings with two not outs) and the batting average \u2013 a staggering 108.33! He was awarded the Stephen Memorial Batting Awards in 1956 and 1957 for top-scoring at the Royal-Thomian.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">After beginning his 1st XI career as a tail end batsman, Ronnie was quickly promoted as an opener (when he made 67, 41, 127 not out and 37 in successive games to head the team\u2019s averages in his debut), a position he relished and mastered in his three seasons \u2013 1955, \u201956 &amp; \u201957.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-142887 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Ronnie-Reid-e1728102644679.jpg\" alt=\"Ronnie Reid\" width=\"600\" height=\"344\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ronnie Reid in 1956 (left) &amp; 1957 (right)<\/span><\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Photos courtesy of Michael Tissera<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Ronnie was also an effective off-spinner, taking wickets at crucial moments, including a best of 7 wickets for 9 runs against St. Anthony\u2019s College, Katugastota in a match at Mt.
