Wonderful topic, as lively as ever...

Delightful as always ! Here's an amusing addition - Agricultural Shots - used to describe 'slog' shots devoid of any real technique which may result in the bat dislodging sizeable chunks of the pitch along with it.

Comprehensive coverage of quirky lingo of the beautiful game of cricket. Script of the video is as crisp as Ian Bell's cover drive

Baseball and chess have enriched the English language tremendously. Please consider doing one on words from these sports.

The origin of duck is related to the King Edward VII. When referring to the Prince of Wales' (the future Edward VII) score of nought on 17 July 1866, a contemporary newspaper wrote that the Prince "retired to the royal pavilion on a 'duck's egg' ".

Ironically, the phrase "Sticky wicket" which originated from the game of cricket has gained currency in the US where cricket is unknown to most people, and has become dated in the UK where the game is still popular.

Dear Nutty Cricketer, you are having really successful Innings so far so Bravo for it. Despite all the googlies and doosras thrown at you by life, you don't out for a duck neither you act like a bunny or rabbit or ferret. Instead, you keep hitting the balls out of the park:) ❤ May you keep hitting sixes and fours and even centuries in your life...! ❤

You forgot to include "king pair". A king pair : If the batsman gets out for a golden duck in both innings. Recently, Australian middle order batsman, Travis Head, got a king pair in 2023/24 PAK tour AUS test series.
