Charity
There is a tradition that every Saturday of a home Test match the commentators wear a Primary Club tie. Membership in the Primary Club is available to anybody who has been out first ball (a "golden duck") in any form of cricket. Proceeds are donated to a charity for blind and partially sighted cricketers.
