Kerry O'Keefe could not resist the chance to crack a few one liners after a bizarre incident involving a duck unfolded at the Adelaide Oval on New Year's Eve. The unusual moment came as the Scorchers hammered their way to a seven-wicket victory over the Strikers to secure their standing in second place in the Big Bash League at the end of 2024.

Fin Allen was the star man for the visitors, amassing a half-century - the highest individual score of the match - while Jhye Richardson staked his claim for a Test call-up for next week's final clash against India, taking three wickets during the Strikers' innings.

Mid-way through the match, commentators became distracted by a duck that had flown in and landed in the Oval. Cameras honed in on the bird, before catching the bird poo on the pitch. The commentators were left shocked by the moment, but in true Skull fashion, O'Keefe began to reel off the puns.
