Ari believes:

That urinating on your feet can cure toe jam.

That Sri Lanka is a failed nation and will take more than three generations to heal.

That Sri Lanka’s World Cup win of 1996 was merely a run of good form that lasted a few months.

That his daughters were all virgins on their wedding nights.

That Mr OldSchoolTie of the 1980s and Ms 2ndGeneration of the 1990s were worse leaders of Sri Lanka than Mr Benevolent Dictator.

That Sri Lanka cannot be considered a great cricketing nation till we consistently win test matches abroad.

That God is great and everything happens for a reason.

That the north should be given to the Tigers. But not the east.

That the Australians play good, hard cricket and it is unfair to demonise them.

That Pradeep Mathew was the greatest cricketer to ever walk the Earth.
