Farewell tour for the Dilscoop

Retiring "Dilscoop" inventor Tillakaratne Dilshan has a last chance to showcase the audacious shot that bears his name when Sri Lanka play Australia in two Twenty20 internationals this week.

The Sri Lankan's cheeky ramp shot, in which he goes down on one knee and flicks the ball over the wicketkeeper's head, has plagued bowlers and inspired fellow batsmen since he unveiled it in 2008.

Fans have a final opportunity to see the 39-year-old -- and with luck, his famous "Dilscoop" -- when Sri Lanka take on Australia in Pallekele on Tuesday and in Colombo on Friday.
