Best Cricket Shots of the Decade | [2000-2009] |

[McLOVIN]

McCullum and KKD or w/e shots are nothing like Dilscoop.

Dilshan plays it more straight and right over his head. if he misses it, he will take a blow. if Dinesh misses, it could hit the stumps or go over it. looks more like a sweep shot

Yea the ones McCullum and KKD play are like the one that Misbah got out on in the finals of the first 20/20 world cup. Nothing like Dilshans.

 

[McLOVIN]

ya its like Marillier/Scoop shot (the 1 in my avatar) but mixed with sweep shot. because they kept their knee down like sweeper. Marillier shot, where knees are up and standing.

just stop trying to give the credit to your players.

Shane Watson was the one who played that shot first. ODI WC 2007

Watch the IPL highlights of his 158*. He plays one exactly like what you people call the Dilshan one right over himself. The second one is like this. The first one is indeed more over fine leg.

McCullum played it before Dilshan and I think even before McCullum other players had done it a little. Calling it the Dilscoop because Dilshan "invented it" like most people think is bollocks. He copied other players.

In saying all this, he does use it more than anyone else does and seems to practice it more. So i'll give him that.

 

[Dare]

ok well you tell me what sounds better to you, the dilscoop or the Mcscoop?

Maybe I should open a comparison thread with option 1. Dilscoop and option 2. Mcscoop

 

[McLOVIN]

hey hey hey! back off buddy! i called it 1st

Sachin does play that shot very well,good pics, plz keep uploading such pics....Thanks...
Better thread than silly comparisions....

*thinks about opening a shot comparison thread: Dilscoop v Dhonismash*

and i am gonna open it!

 

[lonewolf5646]

i think brian lara's hook shot which he plays of the back shot with front leg in air is the best lookin shot i have ever seen

 

[rahuldravidfan]

Oh, who can forget the DHONI BHEEMA GADHA SIX!!! :happy

Only Dhoni can play a shot like that

I also like Robin Utthapa's "walk down the track shot that he plays. He is lethal when he plays that shot. He attributes this shot to his bald buddy Matty :laugh

dude you are b-l-i-n-d! they look nothing alike. he played that standing up. and it looked ugly! Dilshan sits down on 1 knee, gets in line, comes forward and plays it over his hand with perfection. Yes, Mc's went over his head too. but look how he played it. its nothing like Dilscoop. should be called Horizontal shot

ASHRAFOOL played the scoop in the Natwest series 2005 before anyone else in ODIs.

 

[rahuldravidfan]

^ Ashraful, you mean :laugh.

Yes, I remember that series and that shot really well. Ashraful is like the Tendulkar of Bangladesh, a Bangla friend of mine once told me

LOL your friend lied to you. There is a reason Khalek said "AshraFOOL" the dude is horrible. He probably thought he was the king of the world when he had that great innings in the net west series and fell apart from there. The captaincy didn't help and he just kept on failing.

Mohammad Ashraful, are you Sachin Tendulkar in disguise?

Amirite? Amirite?

 

[khalek]

Yeah actually tbh most Bangladeshis sound like fools when they say Ashraful is the Sachin of Bangladesh. Yes he's helped us taste couple of great victories but also it's true that in his whole span of career he's lost us many many games as well and his captaincy was idiotic.

He can't even dream of becoming the 's' of Sachin Tendulkar.
