"We actually want to thank Kepler Wessels. He gave us the motivation. We are very, very thankful to Mr. Wessels," Dilshan told journalists yesterday. "I would like to thank him very much. We have proved that we are good. We said if we played the Sri Lankan brand of cricket, we can beat anyone. We came, we played our brand of cricket and we beat one of world’s best teams."

Sri Lanka captain Tillakaratne Dilshan paid a mock tribute to former South African captain Kepler Wessels yesterday thanking him for the team’s first ever win on South African soil.
The Sri Lankans stunned their hosts yesterday in Durban when they won the second Test by 208 runs inside four days to square the three-match series 1-1.
Wessels had told Cape Times, a South African newspaper, that the country’s ‘A’ team would beat the Sri Lankans who were not a strong team and it was Dilshan’s chance to hit back. "We actually want to thank Kepler Wessels. He gave us the motivation. We are very, very thankful to Mr. Wessels," Dilshan told journalists yesterday.
"I would like to thank him very much. We have proved that we are good. We said if we played the Sri Lankan brand of cricket, we can beat anyone. We came, we played our brand of cricket and we beat one of world’s best teams."
Dilshan was overjoyed to end all the criticism on his captaincy after he had gone through ten games without tasting victory. "It’s a great feeling and I have waited for this for six months. We are going to celebrate this," he said.
When asked what would be his celebrations, the Sri Lankan captain said, "Let’s see. We need to go back to the hotel and we are going to enjoy the whole night."
