“When a New Zealand journo, with a nose resembling the beak of his national bird, asked me why Lankans have long names, I told him I would rather have a long name than a long nose.

“Jonny has a theory that South Africa are doomed to choke in every major tournament for the next fifty years as payment for apartheid.
