Hashan Tillekeratne

Hashan Tillekeratne's promotion in the order came as a huge surprise -- the only logical reason one could think of was that they were shielding Aravinda D'Silva. Tillekeratne, though, hardly looked the part as he kept pushing forward with bat way off line -- quite obviously, he wasn't reading line or movement too well.

His dismissal, though, was fortuitous. Off the first ball of Mark Ealham's first spell, Tillekeratne flicked at one down leg that, if he had left alone, would have given him a wide. There was an appeal for caught behind, Rudi Koertzen gave him the finger and the batsman walked away with a wry grin on his face -- and why not, since the ball had missed bat by a healthy margin?
