Titanium Duck...?

NZTailender

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
We had a new occurrence today in an U10 game: a run out without facing a ball (ruby duck) from the first ball of the innings (diamond duck).

I know the ruby/diamond terms are different across the world, but I've never come up (or needed to come up) with one for this particular calamity - it wasn't a close-run thing either: I was at square leg and the batsman wasn't even in my field of vision when the keeper took the bails.

I'm going for titanium duck, as there's surely no more ignominious a way you can be dismissed.
The last time I opened the batting (going back to when I was 12...) this is what happened.
