The term Rabbit is generally used in the following cases:
I) 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.
2). The term is also used for a higher order batsman who is out frequently to the same bowler, although then most often in the form bunny; for example, Mike Atherton is sometimes described by commentators as "Glenn McGrath's bunny".
Dismissal for nought (zero), from the first ball faced in a batsman's innings is called Golden Duck.
