Ashwell Prince, Durban 2011 - SA were in trouble when Prince tried to reverse sweep Herath, only to bottom edge it onto his boot and get caught at slip.

This from McMillan.

You have to watch the entire over to appreciate how bad it was.

The winner has to be a first ball duck surely. It's one thing to play a stupid shot once you get your eye in, but doing it first ball is something else. Especially in a situation like Bell was in today.

Hussey at Capetown 2011? Im surprised people usually mention haddins but not hussey. Chasing a wide half volley, with australia already having lost a bunch of wickets for virtually nothing is pretty bad. It was the first ball of the session too iirc

Oh yeah that was horrible, and now I know what Pup Clarke was referring to. Worthy nomination.

MS Dhoni at Trent Bridge.

You've been pummelled in the first Test, and a great effort from your bowlers and a great partnership has given you a 50 run lead in the 2nd Test. England have just taken the new ball, Dravid's just reached his 2nd ton of the series and they've just got Yuvraj. We're now approaching a crucial part of the match, and possibly the series. The ball is still relatively new, and with the wicket of Yuvraj and just the bowlers to follow you, England have their tails up slightly. Dravid at the other end looks like he could bat all decade without offering a chance.

Do you:

a) play circumspectly to get your eye in, blunt the new ball and support Dravid at the other end, wearing England down and allow India to push for at least a 100-150 run lead

b) try to drive at full outswingers pitched on off stump and nick off to the slips, thus exposing the bowlers to the new ball and let England back into the match when you had a chance to bury them?
