Not that I hope there are many. Papers Past looks great. H/t John Pagani.
I found this in two minutes. Opposing Mallards playing cricket in Jan 1869. One got 11 wickets in the match – but made two ducks.

Duck 2 would have had to be like you – 12th in the team as he did not bat.
Which is usually indicated in the press by c(sub).
Given The Thomas family were separated by their initials it appears that there are two options, a typo or simply Duck 1 may have caught himself out.
Bet that’s never happened since.
Birds of a feather flock together
prickly one, it means the last batsman was caught out by the bowler.
The good Mallard can bowl, the bad Mallard needs to concede that he no all rounder and delegate the batting to someone else.
That was for Wellington a caught and bowled. Look at the first innings for Officers.
Done. Given he was batting as if playing for both teams, it’s possible he caught himself out – a player can be given out if he plays the ball with his hand while it is live (lodged within his pad or moving towards his stump …).
There you go, it is not that hard to agree with me.
“a player can be given out if he plays the ball with his hand while it is live (lodged within his pad or moving towards his stump …).”
Lodged in his pad, is that the rule and is overridden by etiquette?
No one ever gave Mallard an even break Tracey, this is what made him the man he is.
The batsman is supposed to let a fielder remove the ball from his pads. If not, the batsman is “caught out” by themself.
Of course if he hit it and then caught the ball before it moved onto the stumps, he would also be caught out.
If the ball gets caught in a batter’s pads and a fielder removes it and attempts to claim a catch, the umpire should give the batsman “not out” as the ball is a “dead ball”.
‘The ball then becomes dead when any of the following situations occur:
The umpire is satisfied that, with adequate reason, the batsman is not ready for the delivery of the ball.
The ball passes the batsman, is gathered by the wicket-keeper, and the batsmen obviously decline to attempt to take runs.
The ball is finally settled in the hands of the wicket-keeper or the bowler, and the batsmen obviously decline to attempt to take any more runs.
The umpire feels that both the fielding team and the batsmen consider the ball no longer to be in play.
The ball reaches the boundary and four runs or six runs are scored.
Either batsman is out.
The ball lodges in the clothing or equipment of a batsman or umpire.
The ball lodges in a protective helmet worn by a fielder.
The batsmen attempt to run leg byes, and, in the umpire’s opinion, no attempt was made either to hit the ball with the bat or to evade it. This nullifies the leg byes.
The umpire intervenes in the occurrence of injury or unfair play.’

There are ten ways in which a batsman can be dismissed and some are so unusual that only a few instances of them exist in the whole history of the game. The common forms of dismissal are “bowled”, “caught”, “leg before wicket” (lbw), “run out”, and “stumped”.
The unusual methods are “hit wicket”, “hit the ball twice”, “obstructed the field”, “handled the ball” and “timed out”.
Before the umpire will award a dismissal and declare the batsman to be out, a member of the fielding side (generally the bowler) must “appeal”. This is invariably done by asking (or shouting) the term “Howzat?” which means, simply enough, “How is that?” If the umpire agrees with the appeal, he will raise a forefinger and say “Out!”. Otherwise he will shake his head and say “Not out”. Appeals are particularly loud when the circumstances of the claimed dismissal are unclear, as is always the case with lbw and often with run outs and stumpings.
6. Hit wicket: a batsman is out hit wicket, if he dislodges one or both bails with his bat, person, clothing or equipment in the act of receiving a ball, or in setting off for a run having just received a ball.[31]
7. Hit the ball twice is very unusual and was introduced as a safety measure to counter dangerous play and protect the fielders. The batsman may legally play the ball a second time only to stop the ball hitting the wicket after he has already played it.[32]
8. Obstructing the field: another unusual dismissal which tends to involve a batsman deliberately getting in the way of a fielder.[33]
9. Handled the ball: a batsman must not deliberately touch the ball with his hand, for example to protect his wicket. Note that the batsman’s hand or glove counts as part of the bat while the hand is holding the bat, so batsmen are frequently caught off their gloves.[34]
