Cricket

The term Ashes, Chinaman and Duck are associated with Cricket.

Explanation:

  • A China man is a bowling technique in Cricket when a left arm spinner rotates the ball from the wrist instead of his fingers. He is referred to as a China man bowler.
  • The etymology of the word can be traced from the bowling incident of the left-hand spinner Ellis Achong of the West Indies in a match in Manchester against England in 1930.
  • Ellis bowled Walter Robbins out by bowling the ball from the wrist. While walking back to the pavilion, Robbins remarked, “Fancy being done by a Chinaman.”
  • Ellis was of Chinese origin. Ever since this style of bowling is called Chinaman.  
  • Duck is a euphemism used in cricket, to signify a batsman's dismissal for a score of zero.
  • Since zero bears a similarity to the shape of a duck’s egg hence the euphemism.  
  • The Ashes is a specific name given to the Test cricket series played between England and Australia.  
  • It is so called in reference to the Historical mention of the term ‘ashes’ in an English chronicle when the English were miserably defeated by the Australians in 1882 victory at The Oval.
  • The chronicle had satirically reported that English cricket should be burnt and its ‘ashes’ buried in Australia.
