Ducks
| Three ducks in one game | Tinkerman | Although it looked a never to be repeated feat, the Tinkerman managed to do it again at Captains Day 2007. Big up to the big man and it could have been 4 had he not declined the offer to bat again.. |
| Three ducks in one game | The Smutmeister | On Captains 2005, the feat achieved was as follows : run out, not facing, returned as lowest scorer, bowled for a golden, then a golden in his second innings. Hats off to the lad |
