Tillakaratne Dilshan could not make an impact with the bat in his farewell game, but he has anointed Sri Lankas highest-scorer in the match as a possible successor. Dhananjaya de Silva batted at No.3, but has had success as an opener on this tour. He was Tamil Union Cricket Clubs highest wicket-taker in a triumphant first-class campaign this year, and has also begun fielding at backward point for Sri Lanka in Tests.I think Dhananjaya will be a good example to others, Dilshan said. He can bowl and he fields well. With the style that he batted with today, and the way he opened in the one dayers, you can tell hes a player with a future. He opened with me for the Tamil Union team last year. I saw his talent about a year ago, and I told the coaches to look out for him. He and Kusal Mendis are two good young players for us. We can go a long way with them if theyre shown the right path. I think theyll serve us well for years.Dilshan has spoken out about lack of support from teammates during his captaincy, but was optimistic about Sri Lankas future under Angelo Mathews leadership.Angelo has a lot of young players in the team, and I think it will be easy for him to control it in future, he said. Only Chandimal is there as an experienced player. I dont think he will face too many obstacles. He will just have to develop the young players and move forward. I wish him well in that. If he can pick the right players for the job, based on their talent - thats what any captain should do. He wont have many problems then.Dilshan will now be missed as one of Sri Lankas premier fielders, almost as much as he will be as an opener. Though he made few runs in his final tour, he remained a livewire, well into his 39th year.Our young players have to work hard to become great fielders, he said. When I came to the team I came in as a wicketkeeper, but Romesh Kaluwitharana was already there. So I gave up the gloves and did a lot of work, by myself, on my fielding.Former fielding coach Trevor Penney helped me a lot with that. I remember back then we werent allowed to leave until we got 10 direct hits. The first time it took me more than 100 attempts. But within about a month I was able to get 10 direct hits in 12 - even 10 - attempts. The youngsters we have are good. Theyve got a good fielding coach from South Africa now. Our fielding is a bit low at the moment, so they need to improve that. I have the confidence that they will - and Im more than happy to help them with that.Reflecting upon a 17-year career, Dilshan said he had great memories from most games he played, but made special mention of the 193 he hit at Lords, part of it with a broken thumb.There are many moments I wont forget. I will never forget my debut, because I got there with a lot of difficulty. And any player loves to do well at Lords and get a hundred as well. Harmon Killebrew Twins Jersey .

Kent Hrbek Jersey . - Goaltender Philippe Desrosiers of the Rimouski Oceanic has broken a shutout record that was only three months old in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. MINNEAPOLIS -- Jose Altuve is having an MVP-caliber season for the Houston Astros.The American Leagues leading hitter will look to keep it going in game three of a four-game series against the Minnesota Twins when the teams play on Wednesday night at Target Field.Altuve had four hits in Tuesdays 7-5 victory, one day after seeing his consecutive streak of 202 games played snapped with a day off in a loss on Monday.He looked refreshed, said Astros manager A.J. Hinch. I dont think he ever has too much of a bad day. He came out with some fresh legs and the normal swing that he has. Hes just continuing the remarkable season and doing everything you can ask out of a player.All four of Altuves hits on Tuesday were singles; and a couple of those were jam shots. But when youre hot, youre hot and Altuve has been on fire for the better part of the last three months.Altuve is hitting .398 in 65 games since May 26 and an incredible .493 in 38 road games since May 1.You just try to throw it up there, make a good pitch and hopefully he hits it toward somebody, said Twins pitcher Hector Santiago, who took the loss on Tuesday. Every time he hits the ball, its somewhere where nobody is not. He always just seems to find a hole.Its an attitude most piitchers have had regarding Altuve this season.ddddddddddddYou literally cant do anything else, Santiago said. You get ahead in counts, put him in situations where the pressure is on him and he just seems to find the hole. Hes one of the best hitters, obviously the best hitter right now, you just try to bear with it and minimize the damage.The job of minimizing for the Twins will be that of Ervin Santana on Wednesday. If any pitcher can slow down Altuve, its Santana, who has posted a 2.05 ERA over his last nine starts since mid-June.Santana is 3-0 with a 2.20 ERA in four career starts against the Astros.Houston will turn to left-hander Dallas Keuchel, who will try and build the Astros first winning streak in two weeks.In nine starts since July 18, Keuchel has had just one clunker in which he allowed seven runs in five innings against Detroit on July 31. He rebounded with a complete game shutout his last time out against Texas, allowing just five men to reach base while striking out seven.Keuchel was roughed up for five runs on seven hits and five walks in a loss to Minnesota on May 2 at Minute Maid Park.
