In British slang a "rabbit" is an inexperienced and/or incompetent person; the phrase can be qualified by the area of incompetence, e.g. a "tennis rabbit". In the sport of cricket, the last few batsmen (the tailenders), if especially incompetent at batting, are known as "rabbits". A "rabbit" often seems unsure of how he should even 'hold' his bat, as typified by Phil Tufnell, Allan Donald and Glenn McGrath. The term is also used for a higher order batsman who is out frequently to the same bowler; Mike Atherton is sometimes described by commentators as "Glenn McGrath's bunny".
In Cockney rhyming slang the word rabbit means to talk incessantly ("rabbit and pork"="talk"). This also inspired the song "Rabbit" by Chas and Dave, which features rapid-fire handovers between the two vocalists.
