I was watching an old episode the other day and two of the actors used the term "sticky wicket", which struck me as quite odd, or is this in common usage in US/Can. So tell us what you think it means and where it came from.

Does anybody truly actually know the rules to cricket? I took a tour of the Melbourne Cricket Grounds a few years ago, had it all explained to me and I still don't get it.
