Graeme Smith - golden duck

First ball of inning, so royal duck isn't it?

Re: Drifta - no signal outside the big cities

Royal duck is first ball of the first innings of the game. Smith was batting second...

I'm getting a Drifta tomorrow. Was going to get one today but wife was with me!!!

Wikipedia seems a bit confused:

An opening batsman who is dismissed on the first ball of a team's innings is said to be out for a diamond duck[9][13], platinum duck[14] or royal duck[1], depending upon the regional usage.
Alternatively, the term royal duck may be reserved an opening batsman who is dismissed on the first ball of the first innings of a match.[1][15]

Graeme Smith - golden duck

His slump continues.

Good win by Pune. They have quite a nice team lead by the fiercely competitive Yuvraj.

CSA should invest more in the domestic 20/20 tournament, show matches on free-to-air TV and allow more overseas players to play.

Didn't see it (live), but commentary on CricInfo showed is was a cracking innings. Taking nothing away from the immense effort, I question how much of this should be credited to a reasonably second-grade bowling attack? The Bangladeshi's do not sport the best bowling team and tend to fall apart if the batsmen are smacking them about. Still Watto put the runs on the board.

Maybe it's the way he muscles the ball to the boundaries?

Good win for KKR. The Chargers got a lot closer than I thought they would.

Was really hoping that ten Doeschate would a decent run tonight. Maybe next time.
