There have been 79 instances of a batsman being dismissed first ball in a ODI. The first instance occurred in 1976 as England's Barry Wood was bowled by the great West Indian seam-bowler Andy Roberts. Interestingly, being out first ball seems to happen more in the first innings than in the second. The first case of this occurrence happening in the second innings was in 1986, with India's Kris Srikkanth losing his wicket to England's Graham Dilley.

Answer 3

The word is bowler, not baller, & I know Brett Lee has done that several times, but I don't think he would be the answer.
