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.

I know the words you wrote but I just can’t make them make sense? Even with that basic tutorial, I still can’t understand why it takes 3 days to play a game? If that is what they call it.

Is beer drinking involved? That could explain a lot, maybe because of its origins, gin?
