What do these terms mean in cricket?

Question

*Bunny
*Fish
*Golden duck
*Cherry
*Nelson

Answer 1

Cherry
A new ball, especially a red one

Bunny
A below-average batsman, usually selected in the team solely for his bowling ability.

Nelson
A score of 111; David Shepherd famously 'hops' till the next run is scored.

Golden Duck
A batsman getting out without scoring, off the very first ball.

Fish
A failed attempt to hit a ball that's too far outside the batsman's off-stump.

Answer 2

Ive never heard it called bunny only rabbit....It means a particularly bad batsman, usually a specialist bowler. A "rabbit" often seems unsure of how he should even hold his bat, as typified by Phil Tufnell, Allan Donald and Glenn McGrath.

A fish or fishing is being tempted into throwing the bat at a wider delivery outside off-stump and missing.

A golden duck a dismissal for nought (zero), from the first ball faced in a batsman's innings.

A cherry Cherry refers to the red spots or marks that appear on cricket bats after a wet ball has hit it. Also used to refer to the red cricket ball.

The nelson means a score of 111, either of a team or an individual batsman, regarded by some as unlucky; the superstitious custom is for the batting team off the pitch each to take one foot off the ground. The name was coined in the mistaken belief that Lord Nelson had one eye, one arm and one leg: in fact, he had two legs. Double-Nelson is 222, etc. Also, some consider that '111' represents the three stumps without the bails, which symbolizes being out.

Answer 3

So when my team is on the nelson, i come in at number 11, a.k.a the bunny, when the opposition have just taken the cherry, and i get out for a golden duck chasing a fish. Sounds normal.
In english: When my team is on 111(-9 cos im the last man), i come in at number 11, the rubbish batdmens position, and the other team have just taken the new ball. I get out first ball for 0 because i chased a ball miles outside off stump. That always happens to me (except the umpire gives me out even when i don't touch the ball.
