This clue might be a double definition.

'famous bowler' is the first definition.
'drake' can be an answer for 'bowler' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'famous' bit.

'a duck?' is the second definition.
(drake is a male duck)

'getting' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for drake that I've seen before include "Hoe user" , "Male duck - circumnavigator" , "Ship" , "English circumnavigator, d. 1596" , "adventurer from Devon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
