Poultry and not a sausage for batsman? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

duck

This clue is a double definition.

'poultry' is the first definition.
(duck is a kind of poultry)

'not a sausage for batsman?' is the second definition.
(duck is a cricket term for zero )

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for duck that I've seen before include "Cringe maybe" , "Shoveler, for example" , "Bird - lower your head!" , "Mallard, say, or eider" , "Zero score; avoid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
