‘Please wait here for first available wicket’

By Will 2 years ago, mid-January, 3 Comments »

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.
