Tilla's transformation

Sri Lanka hero Tillakaratne Dilshan says switching from the middle to top order has helped develop him into a fearsome run
machine.
He scored 106 to set his country up for a surprise 55-run victory over hosts South Africa at SuperSport Park on Tuesday in the opening match of the 2009 ICC ChamplonsTrophy.
Sri Irinka amassed 319-8 on a run-friendly pitch and spinner Ajantha Mendis snatched three key wickets as South Africa slumped to 206-7 before rain halted play with 74 balls left and the Duckworth-Lewis system came into play.
"I have been in good form for the past 12 months and believe moving from the middle-order to the lop has helped me a lot," revealed Dilshan after receiving the man-of-the-match award.
"As an opener I feel I have more chances to build an innings and Kumar [captain Sangakkara] and I have developed a wonderful partnership in which we know how to assist each other."
It was the third ODI century by the 2009 ICC Cricketer of the Year and Test Player of the Year
nominee and his career-best J 37 came this year against Pakistan in Karachi.'
Dilshan struck 16 fours and one six in a nearflawless knock before being caught at the boundary by Albie Morkel off the bowling of right-arm speedster Dale Steyn.
Sangakkara hailed the contributions of Dilshan and Ajantha Mendis, who overshadowed more famous fellow spinner Muttiah Muralidaran by taking the wickets of skipper Graeme Smi th, Jacques Kallis and JP Duminy.
"Tilla and Ajantha were outstanding but this victory is history now and we must capitalise on it otherwise It will be worthless," warned the skipper-cum-batsman-cum-wicketkeeper.
"The big challenge with Ajantha was when to bring him on and against who," said Sangakkara.
Smith said the Proteas -- joint pretournament favourites with defending champions Australia for the two-million-dollar first prize - - had to improve quickly or face a humili-atingearlyexil.
South Africa meet bogey team New Zealand at the same venue on Thursday and another loss would virtually spell the end of their chances to reach the semifinals.
"Although it was our first outing we have no excuses. We need to improve quickly and hopefully do a lot better. It is a question of executing the basics properly."
