| Comment | Beth Hise [email of 3/3/2008] reports that the wearing of colored ribbons was a much older tradition. Note: One may ask if something got lost in the relay of this story to Wisconsin. We know of no wicket in England, and neither wicket or cricket used nine-player teams. Edit with form to add a comment |
| Query | Was cricket, including single-wicket cricket, known in any part of England as "wicket?" Edit with form to add a query |
