The morning of the Golden Duck
Golden Duck: (noun) a batsman's score of zero runs, after getting out on the first ball faced.
It was a calamity for England moments ago: One ball after Andrew Strauss hit the stumps with his back heel and was declared out, Michael Vaughan was caught out on his first ball faced -- a Golden Duck in cricket parlance.
We are listening to ENGLAND versus SOUTH AFRICA on BBC Radio's TEST MATCH SPECIAL this morning as we prepare for work.
England are at 82 for 3 at lunch -- not the best start to the third Test match at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham.
While I am sipping coffee, the cricketers are enjoying their lunch break. The commentators are discussing the current state of the game.
I can't imagine a more relaxing start to a day. Ah... if only the puppy would quit barking at the (currently silent) vacuum cleaner...
