to keep wicket
According to the current Laws of Cricket, the stumps are to stand 28 in. above the playing surface, the bails to project no more than ½ in. above the top of the stumps, and the overall width of the wicket to be 9 in. The wicket formerly consisted of two stumps and one bail, the change to three stumps being made around the year 1776. The overall dimensions of the wicket have varied over time, having been 22 in. x 6 in. in 1744 and gradually increased in stages over the years since then.
In quot. 1695 applied irregularly (and presumably in error) to the bail.
single wicket: see as main entry. double wicket, the ordinary form of the game, in which there are two wickets placed 22 yards apart, between which the two batters run. to keep wicket: to act as wicketkeeper (wicketkeeper n.).
extracted from wicketn.
