Kent bowler Nathan Gilchrist has equalled an unwanted record after being dismissed for a pair in his side's recent County Championship clash with Yorkshire.
After beginning the season by scoring nine against Essex, Gilchrist has failed to make a single run in each of his next six innings, getting out for pairs in three successive games against Lancashire, Hampshire and now Yorkshire. In the process, Gilchrist has equalled the record for the most consecutive ducks in men's first-class cricket.
Of those six consecutive ducks, he has been out first ball three times, once in each match. According to the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians, Gilchrist is the 11th man to suffer this fate in first-class cricket.
