McCullum's Scoop Shots during his 116* vs Australia in 2nd T20






The first time McCullum played it was at the Telstra Dome in 2004.

I'll never forget Dion Nash playing a lap/scoop shot off Pollock back in 1998 when NZ needed 7 off 2 balls to win. I remember it landed on the painted line where the rope was supposed to be, but the rope itself was behind the line by a few inches so was given as 4 & not 6 & SA took a wicket off the last ball...was a cracking game 7th Match: New Zealand v South Africa at Brisbane, Jan 9, 1998 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

My favourite McCullum shot last night was the ramp shot that he managed to work to the offside, with a flick of the wrists. Unbelievably audacious.
He played that same shot in the 158 IPL innings as well, ridiculous reflexes
