Brian ‘Johnston’ Thomas loved by all

It was a pleasure working with professional journalist according to the Media Manager of Sri Lanka Cricket Brian' Johnston' Thomas during the recently concluded Series against England.

The English were well represented not only as spectators supporting their team, but also in the press center. Renowned Cricket Writers who have played Test and County Cricket represented top Media institutions such as Daily Express, The Daily Mail, ESPN Cricinfo, The English Daily, The Sun, The Independent, Sunday Telegraph, The Guardian, and many more such as the Observer, The Mail, you name it and they were all in their numbers in the press center, says Thomas.

Thomas had caught up with Derek Pringle, Stephen Brenkley, and even the unassuming Victor Marks, who spoke very highly of Sri Lanka not only as a Nation with inborn hospitality, but also the natural talent of our Cricketers.

The Press Center was run very Professionally by Brian Thomas, who incidentally received a standing ovation from the British Media with Andrew Strauss and Kevin Peterson joining in the applauding at the final Post match Press conference.

Brian Thomas has the advantage with the command of the language, and his unassuming personality, which helps him to move with self confidence with both the Local and the International Media.

Finally well done Chandra Schafter.You provided a good press box constructed in 75 days.
