In cricket, a duck denotes a batsman getting out for a score of zero and usually used in the saying "Out for a duck". Originally called a "duck's egg" because of the "0" shape in the scorebook. A batsman who is out for a duck twice in the same match is said to have got a pair (short for 'pair of spectacles,' shaped like two zeros).
