Here’s What Duck Out In Cricket Actually Means.!!
18:01:00
“Duck” is a terminology used in Cricket. We all know that duck out means a batsman’s dismissal for a score of ‘0’. But in English duck is used for a water bird. So, have you ever wondered what is the relationship between ‘0’ and a duck? Why is it called?
Here is the actual reason:
The term duck is a short form of “duck’s egg out” which is being used even before Test cricket began. The name duck is believed to have come from the shape of the number “0” which is similar to that of “duck’s egg”.
The first use of duck’s egg was in 1886 while referring to the score of ‘0’ by Prince of Whales’ on 17th July 1886, a local newspaper wrote that the Prince “retired to the royal pavilion on a duck’s egg”. The following headline meant Prince returned to the pavilion by scoring a number which is similar to duck’s egg i.e 0. After this incident, duck out has been used on a number of occasions in newspapers thereby it became popular.
There are different types of ducks in cricket : (Usage may vary regionally):-
- Batsmen who are dismissed on the very first ball they faced are said to be dismissed for a golden duck.
- Batsmen who are dismissed on 2nd or 3rd ball they faced are said to be dismissed for silver duck and bronze duck respectively.
- A batsman who is dismissed without facing a delivery (mostly run out from non-striker’s end or stumped off a wide delivery) is said to be dismissed for a diamond duck.
- A batsman who is dismissed for a duck on the very first ball of the innings or team’s first match of the season is said to be dismissed for a Palladium duck.

Why This Student Jailed For 15 Months Will Restore Your Faith In Law
06:00:00
A British student is imprisoned for a period of 15 months because she changed medical records and lied that her ex-boyfriend not only raped but also strangulated her.
We are talking about Natasha Uttamsingh who warned Aakash Andrews of destroying his life. She told cops that the man thrashed her “to the point of unconsciousness” subsequent to breaking up with her. As an outcome, he had been compelled to leave the flat where Natasha used to live with Uttamsingh. Not only this, he was also taken into custody.
22-yr single mother made extraordinary efforts for proving her allegations true and for this, she even changed the medical report as well as forged phone call records. Besides, Natasha altered her phone contact so as to make it look like she got 25 calls from Andrews.
However, Uttamsingh’s story unfolded when cops found a text on Natasha’s mobile that she sent using Aakash’s phone to herself, stating that she was raped by him. However, when more investigation was done over this, it was found that the message was sent at a time when the man didn’t have the mobile.
As stated by Prosecutor Tony Prosser, “When he suggested finishing it she told him she was pregnant.”
“He said he wanted to go away for a few days. She stood in front of him and said she would report him for domestic assault if he were to try to leave her.”
Michael Hillman, defence advocate, said that his client was suffering from a personality disorder so a conviction might obstruct the prospects of her being a midwife. In his words, “She maintains that she was the victim of abuse but she has to acknowledge that as a result of her own conduct one will never know whether that was indeed a true complaint given the lies and the very significant lies that followed that allegation.”
Uttamsingh has been sentenced a 15-month imprisonment by Christopher Critchlow, the judge.
This is what the judge stated in the court, “You have tried to influence a court by dishonestly altering medical records and tried to bring problems into Aakash Andrews’ life and you have succeeded in doing that.”
