This is superb:

Somehow, watching the West Indies collapse in fine style this morning against South Africa, I couldn’t help thinking about this sign I saw while waiting in line to renew my driver’s license.
From Sean, who built/administers CaribbeanCricket.com – a website about bicycle tyre pricing. No, not really; it’s dedicated to West Indian cricket.
He told me that a wicket (in Canada, and probably America, and probably everywhere else) is a ticket boot where you are served, like in a post office. Shamefully, perhaps because I’ve been a cricket fan most of my life, I was completely ignorant as to the other meanings of the word.







If it makes you feel any better, I never heard of wicket used in that way either, and I’m from the US.
Ditto – doesn’t exist in the USA.
Maybe Steve Bucknor should have a sign like this out when the Aussies are bowling…
A wicket is a ticket boot.
Check.
