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

Have not seen this before from Aussies!!

Tbf Tait, Nannes, Haddin and McCullum seemed to be having a giggle all NZ inningss. Haven't ever seen bowlers get smashed like that and laugh about it before.

Playing Black Caps Selector: Selecting Competitive XI for Aus

With the selectors hat on, I would build in the hope of having an available top 6 of McCullum, Guptill, Williamson, Styris, Taylor, Ryder, and not necessarily in that batting order in the lineup.

One feels Broom doesn't fit the needs of the team, and while Pinga was 'ok' against the mighty Deshis, its was more obvious from his second and third knocks that his gameplan is better suited to test cricket.

#7 is almost a specialist batsman position in this lineup as well, should be Oram/Franklin or Stewart contesting this and providing injury cover.

Vettori, Bond, + bowlers and it's a great lineup worthy of finals, barring injuries and big form slumps. Plenty of experience + talent there.

But I can just see the selectors muddling through a buildup to the world cup though with players like Broom getting a lot more gametime.
