Proposed merge with Dilscoop

As per discussion WT:CRIC. Paddle scoop is a more neutral term that does not prompt a disagreement as to who invented it, and marillier shot seems to be an underused name for it. S.G.^(GH) _ping! 16:13, 7 December 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Merging Dilscoop article with Paddle scoop will lose the original identity of the stroke which is clearly different from the Paddle Scoop invented by Marillier. There is enough evidence, including the live commentary of eminent cricketers during the invention of Dilscoop to support that this stroke had never been played. After the fist stroke was played by Dilshan Tilakarathne during the T20, many cricketers around the world have successfully employed the same stroke over and over again. Hence the article Dilscoop should stand alone without a merger. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.211.39.78 (talk) 27 August 2016

The talk section referred to above is at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket/Archive 77#Dilscoop/Marillier shot/Paddle sweep. I agree that there is a distinction between the Dilscoop and paddle, one made in a number of sources cited. The key difference is the Dilscoop is best played on shot ball, directly backwards; the paddle is for fuller-length deliveries, flicked/lofted down leg side. So, therefore, recommend no merge.

Proposed merge with Marillier shot

Merge: unlike the case with Dilscoop, the Marillier shot seems to be essentially the same as the paddle shot, so merge to the neutral name (see also Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket/Archive 77#Dilscoop/Marillier shot/Paddle sweep). Klbrain (talk) 21:29, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
