D F Fred Nell

Fredrick Nell or D.F. Nell Played at Darrawell Club in Hatton (above photos)

He  Capt. Sri Lankan Country 11 against  MCC /England in 1964

We think he played for St josephs between 1937 (Fred Perera year)  & 1939 (Hector Perera year)- before war in 1941-42

Stan & I (Patrick) would like find score cards for D. F. Nell-bowling and batting if possible? (please email info@eLanka.com.au )
