I've put wicket for 4, which is a small doorway in a castle.

11. I've put ditch

Maiden over - no runs scored, so good for bowler.

^ I see your logic, roopower. Could be either.

[Captain2]

Always thoght a wicket was a 'door within a door' or a type of gate; never heard it mentioned as a small doorway in a castle?

Sorry, can't do links but I found this "Castles on the Web" - glossary of castle terms. Wicket - person sized door set into the main gate door.

Brilliant thank you Fred

I couldn't get away from fleas and grasshoppers, Cap., then high/long jumpers (proper name?). Then I thought of Jersey and looked at castle there......
