I smashed a rapid-fire 30-odd not out last night and then took a couple of wickets with my prodigiously-turning leg-breaks.

Just thought you'd like to know.

What's a duck?

What was your best shot?
Glad you asked. It was a massive lofted six over long-on. Took them five minutes to retrieve the ball.

No I mean why did ten men stay out because of a duck?

Sometimes ducks fly across the pitch. If you hit one, you're out.
For ten of them to hit ducks is pretty rare.

especially at this time of year. it's more common in autum when they are flying south for the winter.

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he is out. When they are all out, the side that's been out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out, he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who are all out all the time, and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.

I never fail to find that funny 🙂

Listening to TMS during the last Test, someone texted in to say he was watching the game, when his American wife came into the room, said "Oh, you're busy - I'll come back at the end of the game". It was the first day.
