Kind of but he did hit similar shots during those sixes. The first one looks very different and i believe that was the shot when Broad pitched a full toss wide off stump and got smashed for I think 3rd or 4th six.

Why does it have to be called the anything scoop? Call it the scoop shot. We don't call the doosra the Murili do we. And if we did then Murili wasn't even the first one to bowl it. I could see that happening though.
The switch hit is called the switch hit., Not the Pietersen.
Dilshan did not invent the shot so the stupid commentators should stop crediting him with something he merely ripped off other players (which is good, you want to see what other players do) and has done a lot.
And about the apparent different between playing a shot standing or lower etc. A cover drive is a cover drive. If you're on one knee or standing up. You people are being so pathetic about it.
I have another shot. Ross Taylor playing his infamous slog sweep. Or maybe we should call it the Taylor Sweep because he plays the shot slightly different to everyone else.

i said it was cover drive to the on drive marillier, but it's probably more a straight drive version. but calling it a rip off is just using words with negative conotations, it's a different shot, albeit adapting another one. I think it looks distinct to mccullums one YouTube - Dilscoop
It probably will just end up being called a scoop, if other batsman start playing it. also, the googly is also known as the bosey, so calling certain deliveries after their creators has also happened.

Wow, what a minor, nit-pickity thing to be arguing about. It's a damn awesome shot, whether it's called the Dilscoop, the scoop, the McCullum Give NZ Some Credit For Something Scoop, the Ashrafool Scoop, the who gives a flying fudge what it's called scoop, it's still a quality shot. Get over it.
I love an Ian Bell Cover Drive, KP's reverse sweep 6 off Murali, Dhoni's helicopter follow through sixes, KP's switch hit, but all of them are surpassed by just a classical, perfectly timed on-drive. Looks so nice when it's played properly.

YouTube - M.Jayawardene's 374 Against S.A In Columbo
I like the way jayawardene played the spin at about 1:26, he did it a number of times. genius footwork, mohammad ali class with the little steps to get in position and open up the off side.

Cracking shout that one. Awesome shot, timed it perfectly and it went an absolute mile.
Cheers for the neg rep. Not a fan of sarcasm? Not sure how I've brought it up in every thread either, don't recall bringing up the fact that Kiwi's aren't getting enough credit for things in any thread.

YouTube - Yuvraj Singh on fire brilliant 138 runs in just 78 balls
I know he's a failtard, and I genuinely am not trying to stir up things by posting a yuvraj six against flintoff. but it's a fantastic shot. time tagged so it should just go it if you click the link.

To settle this 'Dilscoop' dispute, it was I who invented it. The year was 1952 and I was chatting to this bloke called Don somebody. We were in the nets and I bowled to him a bit, he was pretty crap! Anyway he decided to give me a bat and I played the supa-terrifico shot which is now the 'Dilscoop'. This terrible batsmen Don said he'll tell that shot to all his family, supposidly telling everyone it was him.
So all in all Dilshan and McCullum is related to this Don and obviously he lied to me.

I dreamed about the dilscoop without ever seeing it played or ever heard about it. Because there are no fielders behind the keeper.
Infact most people did the same, but they never attempted it because of the degree of difficulty.
It should just be called "the scoop shot"
