Sri Lanka against Australia, 1st Twenty20, Pallekele
A conversation with new coach Rumesh Ratnayake Dilshan Tillakaratne asked to re-employ his trademark scoop shot for the first time in over a year, the Sri Lankan captain said.
104 Dilshan ball striking is 57 precipitated the first Twenty20 international in Australia, far from Kandy, the visitors can not mount an effective pursuit of 199 after being overwhelmed by the rotation of Dilruwan Perera and Rangana Herath.
The blow to the head of the wicketkeeper is known as "Dil-spoon", but its inventor was reluctant to play recently, even more, now he is the captain of Sri Lanka. Ratnayake suggests his return against the Australians, with good results.
"I have not practiced" Dil-scoop "for eighteen months, but yesterday we had a conversation with Rumesh, and he asked why I did not play," said Dilshan. " Rumesh I said "you could see me play it tomorrow. "
"I had the confidence to play. It worked, and I think I played after Dil-scoop developments on the ground, and I felt easier to score more runs in other areas.
"I'm really happy with my innings today. I was a bit 'slow initially, but after the first six or seven overs, I tried to take advantage of there. Overall, I am very pleased with our performance today."
Cameron White, captain of Australia T20, acknowledged the wide range of strokeplay Dilshan had to move quickly in his field settings.
"When a guy can hit the ball ... almost directly behind the guard, part of the defenders or Fielder in the back, and creates other openings elsewhere," says White. "Then there was the possibility of hitting the ball on the ground or what he likes from time to time, like today.
"It is clear that [we] do not play as one might expect. Full credit to Sri Lanka and played a fantastic Dilshan sleeves. If someone scores a hundred off 57 (55) balloons will work hard to win the game from there. But here, there were some disappointing aspects of the game on our side too. "
White approach in contrast to its counterpart. while Dilshan used three pitchers in a rotation of the surface, taking in turn, White chose to use his pace players in the final stages of the innings, with disastrous results - 83 runs accumulated in the last six overs.
"There is no reason," White said when asked why or Steve O'Keefe and Steven Smith changed their full allocation of overs. "It's just my feeling at the time.
"Shane Watson made the first two extensions 12, first was John Hastings in just five years. We were well in the game during the first 13 overs ... 80 or 90 high, with two windows down and get a stop there and changes in the game. As we have seen, Dilshan took the game away from us. "
