A diamond duck is when a player gets run out without even facing a ball.

Player : WalshHas a player ever gotten out for a diamond duck?Yes it's much more common than you think:



It happened to India twice in 5 months (in 2007)



Harbhajan run-out by Hussey/Hogg-http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/engin鈥?/a>



Zaheer Khan run out by Broad-http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/engin鈥?/a>



It can often occur at the closing overs in an ODI. Players are desperately trying to steal singles, and they often sacrifice Tail-enders. It also occurs when teams collapse from a good position because they are in a panic
That has happened 23 times in Test cricket:

The last person to be run out in a Test match without facing a ball was England's Monty Panesar, against South Africa at The Oval in 2008:

well you've got the answer but i'll just add.



someone in my team from a few yeara back got a Diamond Duck of the first ball of the game!!!

So what do you call that!!
I remember when I saw Ricky Ponting ran out for a diamond duck from Dishan around 2006 in a ODI. Harbhajan Singh had been ran out for a diamond duck from Michael Hussey early 2008 in a test series. And I also remember Daniel Vettori has been ran out for a diamond duck in 2006 at Wellington against West Indies from Ramdin.
A diamond duck is when someone is out from the very first ball of a match. Jimmy Cook of South Africa was dismissed first ball of the match against India in 1992.
