Dil-Scoop or McScoop?

Question

Sri Lanka’s Tillakaratne Dilshan was the first batsman to showcase the scoop shot over the wicketkeeper’s head in Twenty20 cricket – leading some to call it the Dil-Scoop. But after Brendon McCullum’s successful use of a similar stroke on his way to an unbeaten 116 against Australia in a Twenty20, it appears there are some New Zealand fans looking for a name change – to McScoop. So , Dil-Scoop or McScoop?

Answer 1

As catchy as McScoop is, the original has to stick surely? It’s all in fun but as Tillakaratne Dilshan pioneered the shot, and any nickname for it should recognise that.
