Ben Duckett’s much-anticipated Big Bash League (BBL) debut for Melbourne Stars turned out to be a day to forget. Facing the Adelaide Strikers, the English opener was dismissed for a golden duck by Strikers’ captain Matthew Short.
Ben Duckett Falls on First Ball
Duckett walked in to bat with high expectations, but his stay at the crease was cut short on the very first ball. Matthew Short, coming round the wicket, bowled a length ball that straightened after pitching. Duckett misjudged the delivery, and the ball hit his front pad. The umpire had no hesitation in raising his finger, sending Duckett back to the pavilion without scoring.
It was a tough start for the debutant, who was hoping to make an impact in his first BBL outing.
