You Got Time to Duck?

A duck, in cricketing parlance, refers to a player who leaves bat with a score of nothing. Zip. Zero. Nada.

We've got all our duck shirts in a row for you to take a peek at. Plus, read on to get the scoop on how unique cricket phenomenon got started

Sure to hit a chord with anyone who's sunk one too many brewskis after stopping for tea, our Too Drunk To Duck design riffs on the iconic cover art for Too Drunk To F**k by rebellious rockers Dead Kennedys and puts the 'punk' back into PunkCricket.

The sequel to our Duck Boy T-shirt, our I Have A Big Collection of Ducks design is perfect for anyone with a less-than-formidable batting average!

The More You Know: The term 'duck' was coined in 1866 when a newspaper wrote that the Prince of Wales, Edward VII, "retired to the royal pavilion on a "duck's egg"" after being bowled out for a big fat zero. It's believed that the name is derived from the number "0" being a similar shape to that of a duck's egg!

Bonus round: Which player hold the records for the most ducks in Test cricket?
