dbo:abstract
  • Daddles, also known as Daddles the duck, is the name of an animated duck who was first introduced in 1977, used in the television coverage of cricket by the Australian Nine Network's Wide World of Sports. When a batsman is dismissed without scoring, usually referred to as a "duck", an animation of Daddles, dressed as a batsman, is shown using on-screen graphics, crying, tucking his bat under his wing and walking across the screen accompanying the coverage of the departing batsman on his way back to the pavilion. According to Cricinfo, this adds "to the departing batsman's shame" at being dismissed without troubling the scorers. In its most common format, the sound of the duck was similar to an upset-sounding Donald Duck. The duck was used in many cricket broadcasts for nearly 40 years. (en)
