Wickman was asked recently why a duck is a duck. As far as Wickman can discover it's because a zero in the scorebook looks like a duck egg. Sounds a bit lame. A golden as we know is a first baller. A silver a second baller. A bronze a third baller. A diamond duck is secured by a batsman who does not face a ball. A platinum duck is a first baller experienced by the No 1 in the first ball of the match. This has happened to Clarky twice including on club day last year to Milkybar. It's not good. Any way they come, down the Wick they cost a fiver...
