Sports[edit | edit source]
Cricket[edit | edit source]
In cricket, a wicket has three main meanings. Firstly, it refers to the physical structure towards which the bowler aims the ball, consisting of three vertical stumps topped by two horizontal bails. Secondly, the term is used to denote the dismissal of a batsman, which can occur in several ways, such as being bowled, caught, leg before wicket (LBW), run out, and others. Lastly, "wicket" also describes the pitch, or the area of the cricket field between the two sets of stumps.
Croquet[edit | edit source]
In croquet, a wicket is a hoop through which the balls are struck during the course of the game. The arrangement and order of the wickets are crucial to the game's objectives and vary between different versions of croquet.
Technology[edit | edit source]
