Who is Dougie Marillier?
Douglas Anthony "Dougie" Marillier is a former Zimbabwean cricketer.
He is a right hand batsman known for his unorthodox technique and a right arm offspin bowler. One of earliest popularizers of the "scoop" stroke which is designed to sail over fine-leg, he has a one-day top score of 100, achieved in Sharjah against Kenya in April 2003. He is credited as the inventor of the Marillier shot, in which the batsman extends the bat as a ramp in front of him and flicks the ball over his shoulder to fine leg. It is sometimes referred to as the Marillier.
