re: #145 William Lewis

I know more about bloody cricket than about hockey and I could barely tell you what a wicket is so, eh.

Well, *actually* a wicket has three square wooden posts, called stumps, 28” tall and 9” wide on which sit two horizontal wooden pegs called bails each around 4 1/2’ wide that sit in grooves on top of the stumps. The batter protects the stumps from being hit by the bowler (pitcher).

And that’s *my* pedantry for the evening.
