He was 96.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Bertie Wijesinha was a household name in Sri Lanka whether it was as a cricketer, coach, writer or commentator, he was versatile in every field.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Wijesinha celebrated his 68th wedding anniversary with wife Dorothy on March 30 and a few days later he was admitted to Sri Jayawardenepura Hospital for pneumonia where he passed away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">In recent years Wijesinha\u2019s health had been deteriorating and he died of old age.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">He donated one of his kidney\u2019s to one of his two daughters who later died. He also has two sons.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Wijesinghe played for S. Thomas\u2019 College Mt Lavinia from 1936-1939 and in that period distinguished himself as an outstanding all-round cricketer. Later he moved to SSC to display his skills and then represented his country from the late forties.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">His desire to write something about the game saw him take up the post of Sports Editor of the Daily News from 1953-1972 and branch into the field of cricket commentating where he formed a unique combination with another SSC stalwart Lucien de Zoysa providing ball-by-ball cricket commentaries on radio in an era where television was not even hear of. Their vivid descriptions of play enabled listeners to imagine they were actually at the match.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Wijesinghe was a knowledgeable coach from whom many cricketers who went onto wear the national cap benefitted.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Leading the tributes to this great cricketer was former Sri Lanka captain Michael Tissera, a former Thomian cricketer like Wijesinha who benefitted immensely by his coaching. \u201cBertie was a very fine all-rounder technically he was very good. All his life he coached with the goodness of his heart,\u201d said Tissera.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cBertie and Derrick (FC de Saram) used to come and coach us when we were playing for Ceylon. He was a competent coach who knew the finer aspects of batting and bowling.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The Wettimuny brothers Sunil, Mithra and Sidath who all played for the country were coached by Wijesinghe.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cWhatever skills we learnt from cricket we owe it to him. He was a fabulous coach, the best in the business. His knowledge and the way he transferred that knowledge to us was fantastic,\u201d said Sidath Wettimuny the youngest of the trio.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cIt was my father who built the first indoor cricket nets in Sri Lanka at the Health Department. He handed it over to Bertie and told him you can use it for your coaching but you must also coach my sons. That\u2019s how we came to be coached by him,\u201d said Sidath. \u201cI came under Bertie\u2019s coaching at the age of 12, but Sunil my elder brother was coached after school.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cBertie lived a full life and was one of the greatest cricketers produced by SSC and one of the best coaches the country has produced.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Former Sri Lanka and SSC captain Anura Tennekoon described Wijesinghe as a gentle person who in his own way taught the fundamentals of the game properly.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cHe helped me to brush up my technique from school to club level. He was very good at putting the basics right of a cricketer whether it be batting or bowling, that was his main strength,\u201d said Tennekoon.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Another Thomian cricketing stalwart Geoff Wijesinghe, a former editor of the Daily News and Sunday Observer said that Wijesinha was \u201ca perfect gentleman, a strict disciplinarian as a coach and a fine friend\u201d.\u201cI had the privilege of having Bertie as my coach at S. Thomas\u2019, as my team mate at SSC and a lifelong friend,\u201d said Wijesinghe.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cMy youngest son Suresh also had the privilege of being coached by Bertie, before he (Bertie) went over to Trinity. When my son scored 40 for S. Thomas\u2019 against Trinity Bertie came over to the Thomian dressing room and complimented him on his batting,\u201d he said.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u201cBertie was a Thomian staunch and true who always rallied around the college flag.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Wijesinha\u2019s remains lie at 15A, School Lane, Gangodawila, Nugegoda (opposite Sri Jayawardenapura University). His funeral takes place on Wednesday at the General Cemetary, Borella.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">https:\/\/www.dailynews.lk\/2017\/04\/10\/sports\/112956\/sri-lanka%E2%80%99s-oldest-cricketer-bertie-wijesinha-dies-96<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sri Lanka\u2019s oldest cricketer Bertie Wijesinha dies at 96 Monday, April 10, 2017 &#8211; 01:00 Sa\u2019adi Thawfeeq Legendary cricketer Bertie Wijesinha Sri Lanka\u2019s oldest living cricketer Bertie Wijesinha breathed his last yesterday.
