Comments on the clue
1.No definition.
2.Scorers wouldn't score this way; can be maiden without six dot balls.
3.Clever and neat
4.Better than 1 as it has a def. of sorts, but not that keen on the cryptic part.
5.Maybe, if answer was sibsib?
6.Much better than 1, but still unfair on non-cricket fans and all in all not my cup of tea, sorry
7.Too obscure.
