The Ashes 2009

[fen_boy]

Reading the BBC feed at work I just exclaimed: "oooh, another! And a duck! Quackity-quack-quack... Wow, and that's seven! Wow"

The other guy in the room didn't even know I was talking about cricket

I thought a golden duck was out for 0 in both innings

That's a King Pair.

What bowling from Onions and Jimmeh.

 

[JimW]

My 250 looking a bit pessimistic; might be lucky to make 230 at this rate

 

[TrippyLondoner]

that's what you call revenge for being smashed around the ground yesterday!

 

[Nemo]

4fer!

77 for 7 this session apparantly

I think we can live with that.

 

[HobgoblinMan]

Good going this, but when England come into bat are they not going to struggle too???

 

[Balbi]

Jimmeh's 4 - 11

 

[agricola]

4fer!

77 for 7 this session apparantly

[TrippyLondoner]

Sir Bobby Robson tribute show on at 7

 

[Cerberus]

What a morning

Glad I took the day off to watch it...

Pitch and conditions are producing massive swing.

Can the Aussie's produce the same???

Already starting to panic about our middle order..

 

[TrippyLondoner]

I think if we can take our momentum from this into our batting, we'll do abit better.

 

[SpookyFrank]

The Aussies have one decent bowler. We'll be fine.

/famous last words

 

[Lord Camomile]

King pair.

That's a King Pair.

Nah, that's a king pair.

Then what the fuck's just a regular duck

If out for 0 is a 'golden' duck, do the regular feathered variety even come into play?

This bloody game...

Maybe, but Anderson on song is the best swing bowler in the world. No guarantee that Australia will produce the same.

This bloody game...

Regular duck – out without scoring.

Golden duck – out for nought first ball.

Pair – two ducks in a match.

King pair – two golden ducks in a match.

Out for 0 is a duck. If it's first ball it's a Golden duck.

My thoughts too...

I think golden duck is out for 0 on first ball. A duck is when you're out for 0 but after the first ball.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Regular duck – out without scoring.

Golden duck – out for nought first ball.

Pair – two ducks in a match.

King pair – two golden ducks in a match.

Out for 0 is a duck. If it's first ball it's a Golden duck.

Ahhh, thank you both very much

Um, anyone want me to explain the offside rule?

e2a: and Trippy too.

 

[Nemo]

Out for 0 is a duck. If it's first ball it's a Golden duck.

And if you're out without facing a delivery it's a diamond duck.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

And if you're out without facing a delivery it's a diamond duck.

Oo that's a good one. Hadn't heard that.

You can of course be out first ball but not for a golden duck, run out coming back for the second/third/fourth run.

 

[fen_boy]

And if you're out without facing a delivery it's a diamond duck.

This I did not know.
