Thank you very much Aravinda de Silva for making my childhood awesome. I was 13 years old when I watched your magnificent innings at the 96 world cup final. We were gifted to watch great players like you unlike today.

Aravinda is the undisputed best Sri Lankan batsmen. I never saw Sathasivam, as such, I cannot comment on him. Sangakkara, Mahela, Sanath, Tissera, Roy Dias, are all great players but, Aravinada was from a different league. His best years were spent in the wilderness due to the troubles in Sri Lanka .It was unfortunate for him and also for every cricket lover. Could I humbly request Ari to pass on his tricks to the future budding Sri Lankan cricketers. I am a surgeon and I always pass on my knowledge to the young surgeons. It gives us a great pleasure. Remember, "thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared". Thank you both for this excellent interview and thank you Aravinda for entertaining us. (Kumara Ekanayake, FRCS, FDSRCS).

I don't think that talent can be passed on. it is innate, you are born with it or not.

I have heard about Mr. Sathasiwam but I've never seen him. I have seen Aravinda and also followed his career then as a school boy in 80's. His hook and the pull still the best. I suppose this man is the best Sri Lanka had ever produced in the history of Sr Lankan cricket.
Aravinda is one of the best batsman of Sri Lanka. There were two batsmen from Sri Lanka whom I loved to watch batting. One was Aravinda and the other one was that classical batsman Roy Dias

When I was a kid, I used to hate Aravinda coz he never used to get out. I really really really used to hate him. :) Huge respect to Aravinda. He truly THE best Srilankan Cricketer ever. I am sure Sanga and Mahela would also agree to this. If you look at Aravinda, he played Cricket like a true gentleman. Amazing talent, always down to earth - he was always no nonsense person. He was so sharp, had all shots in the book...... he carried the srilankan flag, when everyone used to laugh at them. He is one of the Nicest ever persons I have seen. I would say One of the great cricketers in the world. Thank you for the entertainment Arvinda. My belief that ‘Nice people can still be successful’ has gone only stronger.

What a great champion. Thanks for your time for the interview. You must take over Sri Lanka cricket and get involve all 1996 players to put SLC in the right track. You are right current players and administrators should make their mind set right. They have a mental issue - favouritism for clubs, player politics, govt politician interfere, player wives interfere, social media fights, player hunger for money and wealth build up, higher positions in admin, show-off on TV should stop immediately and play for the country like previous players. Sri Lanka make use of champion cricketers before that generation disappear. they are still fortunately active in this life but not in next few years time. Sir Aravinda, Please help Sri Lanka cricket together with 1996 champion bunch and greats like Roy Dias, Duleep, Sidath.

You listen,watch & read more about your country men all the time but i was lot different from my very young days... I used to drool over style of Arvindas hook & pull,Laras Jump cut & pull,Naser hussain cover drive,Kallis punch,Azaruddins magical flick and the list goes on and on and everyone bashed me for hating tendulkar... I have so many Aravinda memories but one innings that makes him outstanding in 1997 is how "he saved the test match in mohali with kumar dharmasena"...they played on and on on the final day... Sadly after Aravinda,Lara and Kallis have left the finesse,Style,Aura have dissapeared from cricket and smaller format t20 has killed the style game that i once drooled over...peace

His honour mr, Arawinda silva is one of the greatest high-class batsman in the world who could able to come to a remarkable excellent level in veryfew short-time soon after SL received test-level as like as long-time much-experience cricketer in any other country. we received only few matches actually compared with other teams to come to a standard level by gaining experience. Upon the matter being under many kind of pressures we were being faced on so fear-ness situation at the era. but in little later in the moment who Arawinda silva he himself courageously ventured to the crease and began to hitting with unbelievable, un comparable power-hittng strikes to all points of the ground through the opposition fielders fearlessly without any fear against any kind of terrific bowler in other countrys gloriously by splendid shots behalf of the nation and Mr,Arawinda silva could able to turned the attitude of the fearness label at his own team by the other popular teams, by only verbally morethan the practically, and soon in the time its wander the all the big teams began to come to fear on us, because of these excellent performances of Arawinda and he opened the way to other batsmans specially to youngsters and almost totally to all the team-mates to hit like this as me. Then as teach him to all the members of the team to come to a barrier free mind level with a barriers free hitting-system against any team in any where. and he soon makes and regenerated all the team members spiritual-power by example in he himself with crucial strike-system, that what emerged in the grounds. and he wanted to keeps forever this up-level condition what so hardly arrived on the team. After winning all the matches by regenerated recently. in 1990,afterwards. and he submitted a brave suggestion, at ,once of brave captain of him Ranatunga to take a turn and shall be effort to leading together, going forward until the finals, with conducting the team by both of them also with better confidence. and then we srilankan team could able to win all the matches proudly and easily against all the team s of all the countries and later cleverly selected to the quarterfinals.from its upto the world -Cup final were the time being arising to look the number of marvellous matches with tremendous performances of both by batsmans bowlers and fielders, on winning aims. and this were the most picturesque session to say about how our Arawinda was playing against other countrys gloriously, behalf of the nation,and to save the nation as a hero,with unbelievable advanced hitting-system.and, and, as a result of these excellent performances, would you believe, country of Srilanka selected to the.1996 50,overs world Cup final for the first time in history, to play with mighty Australians. IN the match Australians batted first and we srilankans were fielding as much as theirs most possible, to mitigate aussies scores,and once would you believe, our hero Arawinda silva got three wickets of Australians three leading batsmans,going beyond the margin in the right time what's that were needed,we. Upon those circumstances Australians could get only, two hundred forty one, for the innings.and then we srilankan started to batting but our first order leading batsmans all happened to go back to the pavilion in very short-time cause of big pressure on the team of Australians, At the moment we had need morethan 140marks to win. but it were being so hard to come to the target under pressure of mighty Shane worne who was the best spinner in the world. And then the time arise to come to Arawinda to the crease, and then everyone you know what happened soon?, in the Lahor ground, it's amazing,it's amazing to see and to know Hero Arawinda silva started to batting for the bowling of mighty Shane worne,Would you believe,would you believe? from the first ball of mighty Shane's hero Arawinda smashed and slashed around the ground with eye-catching strikes,like a remarkable strike-stream with all the overseas spectator's applauses and loud chears including Australians fans too as a respective response at Arawinda for his fascinating game until the win, with collected 108,of not out plus once valuable important century count in to his account in a world Cup by giving an another hundred marks to the team as a first batsman and as the first player of playing in the first received final in any world Cup final again response of hi fascinating game.he was playing with his captain Ranatunga and he let the way to Ranatunga to score the final winning mark as showing his humanism with honour at Ranatunga as a huge character of he respect and the man who protected him always and chears him to come to this level by instructions and advices like a own family head and as a good friend along with the years since come to the team-mate. And Ranatunga had a huge expectation at Arawinda to take him to a remarkable standard place in the cricket by seeing his tremendous talents,and Ranatunga could able to see his expected Arawinda has been alive created in 1996,world-Cup final as most likely as he wanted to be create.and then all after Arawinda awarded as the man of the match of the world Cup, proudly. And further as a hero of Srilanka has been ever produced with being praised by all and specially praised of Great, Mr Wasim akram, Martin crowe, Clive Lloyd, Sunil gaveskar, kapil theve, graim Smith, Gaarfil sobers, kepler wessls, Grant flower, Ian Botham, Greg Chapel, Mohomath ashraful,and Australians team just playing with. as keep in my mind still so.and at the moment of prize giving Australians said that 'we were troubled with this amazing fellow to come up, with pointed the hands at Arawinda with praised him about his talents. as mention his carriers is like so this, 3,wickets +108,marks + not-out+century +first finals win, this is Mr pinnaduwage Arawinda silva. thank you sir. would like to giving my regards to,Mr Muththaiah muralitharan to,Mr Ranjan maduglle and to all team members with captain Ranatunga forever.ever
