Why is 'wicket' been given as secondary to the word 'pitch', even if the term 'wicket' is officially incorrect it is universally used, I have never heard the 'wicket' referred to as a 'pitch'!

I think you may be confused. The section saying that 'wicket' is sometimes used to refer to the pitch means that the word 'wicket' is sometimes used to refer to the mown strip of grass, not that the set of stumps and bails is incorrectly referred to as a 'wicket' and is really a 'pitch'. -dmmaus 23:33, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

I've moved this here from Wicket (cricket) in accordance with Wikipedia page naming guidelines, since nothing was at Wicket, and I can't see anything ever being put there except a redirect to this anyway. This will also save us all from having to type "wicket (cricket)|" inside our links all the time... dmmaus 23:38, 19 May 2004 (UTC)

Some images of what a wicket looks like might be helpful. --Sgeo | Talk 20:41, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

There's a mention in the Brian Close article about Melbourne vs English wickets, which apparently are (were) slightly different. Anybody know about this? 66.68.106.103 04:45, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

In that sense, wicket refers to the cricket pitch, not the stumps, so it's simply a reference to the differing conditions on Melbourne grounds. Precisely what differences existed at that particular time I don't know. Loganberry (Talk) 00:15, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
