    ‘Please wait here for first available wicket’

    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.
