STICKY WICKET EXPLAINED
Definition of Sticky Wicket...
F you’re on a bit of a Sticky Wicket, you are in
a difficult or challenging situation! The weather
conditions can play a huge part in the game.
Clear blue skies and no wind often mean this is
favourable to the batter.
I
Conversely, if there has been rain, humidity
and low pressure, then this is more favourable
to the bowler. Given the recent rain and
overcast conditions it is possible the wicket will
be truly Sticky which is consistent with the
theme of this event!
Sticky Wicket is a difficult situation and the
families of children with special needs are quite
literally on a bit of a sticky wicket.
Origin: taken from Phrases.org
A wicket is, of course, the playing surface used
in cricket. This phrase is a direct allusion to the
difficulty of playing on a wet and sticky pitch.
For figurative usage of the phrase, we need look
no further than the cricket playing countries of the
British Empire and Commonwealth.
...owing to the rain we have had
in this island of Springs, I am batting
on rather a sticky wicket.
The first such citation we found is from an April
1930 edition of the Jamaican newspaper The
Gleaner. "Your Excellency, Sir William Morrison
and gentlemen. I am afraid tonight, owing to the
rain we have had in this island of Springs, I am
batting on rather a sticky wicket. We have just
heard Sir William Morrison make, in my
opinion, a magnificent speech. I do not hope or
think of living up to that."
The earliest citations of the expression refer
specifically to cricket. For example, Bell's Life in
London, July 1882 notes: "The ground... was
suffering from the effects of recent rain, and
once more the Australians found themselves on
a sticky wicket."
Networking
In case you don’t know how to network, it is
really simple. Go up to someone you don’t know,
look into their eyes, say hi, be really engaged
and interested in what they have to say, swap
business cards and if you have connected with
them professionally or personally, follow up after
the event. Events such as Sticky Wicket are
brilliant for meeting new people with whom you
may end up doing new business, learning
something or just enjoying their future company!
