bullet::::- an opening batsman who is dismissed on the first ball of a team's innings is said to be out for a diamond duck, platinum duck or royal duck, depending upon the regional usage.









































section::::pair.









































to be dismissed for nought in both innings of the same two-innings match is to be dismissed for a pair,









































because the two noughts together are thought to resemble a pair of spectacles; the longer form is occasionally used. to be dismissed first ball in "both" innings ("i.e.", two golden ducks) is to suffer the indignity of making a "king pair".

the most involved hat-trick was perhaps when melbourne club cricketer stephen hickman, playing for power house in march 2002, achieved a hat-trick spread over three overs, two days, two innings, involving the same batsman twice, and observed by the same non-striker, with the hat-trick ball being bowled from the opposite end to the first two. in the mercantile cricket association c grade semi-final at fawkner park, south yarra, gunbower united cricket club were 8 for 109 when hickman came on to bowl his off spin. he took a wicket with the last ball of his third over and then bowled number 11 batsman richard higgins with the first ball of his next over to complete the gunbower innings, leaving chris taylor the not out batsman. power house scored 361, putting the game out of reach of gunbower. in the second innings opener taylor was joined by higgins at the fall of the fourth wicket as hickman returned to the attack. with his first ball, observed by an incredulous taylor at the non-striker's end, he clean bowled higgins, leaving higgins with a pair of golden ducks.
