F Seven ducks; therefore ____ ____, making 80 (4,5)
FOUR SCORE? Why seven ducks?

G Eco-friendly domestic cockpit (10)
GREENHOUSE? Why cockpit?

Re F... I know nothing about cricket, but if there are 11 batsmen, and only four of them score/get on the scoreboard, the other seven must have been out for nothing, out for a duck?

I've solved most of the clues.
Please can someone start me off by telling me which answer ( letter only) I should put in the first down position.
