And what the fuck is a "wicket"?

The wicket is the stumps and bails that the batsmen defends, but normally "wicket" is used in sense of getting a player out (just like a batsmen being struck out or caught in baseball)
Cricket is no more complicated than baseball, its just what you're used to.
There's an interesting conversation to be had about why all of the top four sports in America/Canada have limited following around the world (fair enough basketball is taken more than semi seriously in some places, but ice hockey, gridiron, baseball really arent played professionally outside of the US or its immediate neighbours)
But thats for somewhere else... we should distract from the "guy wants to go fishing, wife doesnt" video's

I dont get why the perfect girlfriend speaks English with a strong accent, likes fat hairy men, and doesnt care about not getting bought presents or her boyfriend watching strippers. I would have thought the perfect girlfriend would just be someone who had her own career and couldnt care less if the boyfriend went salmon fishing every weekend. (maybe if she was a good cook and knew a lot of fish recipes would be a bonus?)
