  • Perfecting Your Game
    BOOK REVIEW DILSHAN: THE MAN BEHIND THE SCOOP PERFECTING BY TILLAKARATNE DILSHAN & JACOB SWEETMAN WIBBLE PUBLISHING, £9.99 (£4.96 ON KINDLE) YOUR GAME illakaratne Dilshan, the inventor of the Dilscoop, is anything but ordinary and his new autobiography, co-authored by Jacob Sweetman, sheds new light on WWW.STANFORD.IN/UK a driven and ambitious character. From the outset you get a clear sense of TDilshan’s relentless determination to make his mark on the game. This is partly a refl ection of his quest for individual recognition but predominantly borne out of his patriotism and desire to help his homeland scale new heights. Dilshan’s interjections throughout the text show just how much pride he has for his ‘Resplendent Land’ (Sri Lanka in Sanskrit) and the book culminates with the proudest moment of his career, as he helps his country lift the World T20 title in 2014. “It was the fi nest moment in my career,” says Dilshan. “It’s what everything had building towards [sic], because it wasn’t about me. It wasn’t about Sanga and it wasn’t about Mahela, it was about home, Serendip. I was so proud that I had given something tangible back to my country. I cried like a baby that night.” Sweetman steers the book by providing depth and context to events while Dilshan’s vivid accounts add the colour. As the text fl icks between the Sri Lankan’s playing career and his time growing up in Kalutara, the struggles he has faced to reach the pinnacle of the game become clear.
