One of the Indian batsmen today was out without facing a ball - is that still a golden duck? (chinny) (dunno) </p>
Never Heard Of It Either Is it actually true? Wikipedia is easy enough to edit and it always takes a while to get back to normal.
RE: Never Heard Of It Either Can't see why anybody would want to add that. Not much of a wind-up. Good knowledge DB. (hatsoff)
Different explanation here Out first ball of a match apparantly</p> http://en.allexperts.com/q/Cricket-1632/Diamond-duck.htm</p> Follow ups give a different definition! </p> Wish I'd never asked now! </p>
I always referred to it as a... ruby duck if that occured, mind you ruby/diamond its all similar (dancin)
0 from 0 balls is diamond well thats what people have told me, and first ball of season is a queen duck, that might have been someone taking michael though.
It is true, I thought it was that... Before reading your answer so would be too much of a coincidence! My Dad got one playing a Barnsley Schools Final ff
