In the sun-kissed, history-rich state of Virginia, an army of lively munchkins takes over the green fields every Saturday. They're not just any small humans, oh no! They're the gallant, valorous Virginia junior cricketers! Padded up and ready to face an army of googlies, bouncers, and yorkers, they exhibit courage and spirit that would make George Washington tip his hat in admiration. Leading the brigade is their imaginary cricket mascot, Wicket the Cricket. Wicket is no ordinary cricket though. He's a 4-foot-tall, wisecracking, high-flying, cartwheeling insect with a bat in one hand and a ball in another. With his googly eyes, wide grin, neon-green outfit, and his legendary cricketing skills, he's the undisputed hero of these mini cricket enthusiasts. Every Saturday, Wicket magically appears as soon as the first cricket ball is bowled. He runs around the field, cheering the young players, providing comic relief with his hilarious antics, and sometimes even joining in the game when the teams are short of a player. Wicket always has a joke, a kind word, or a funny face up his sleeve to cheer up any batter who’s just missed a shot, or a bowler who's just been hit for a six. The wacky, wonderful world of cricket in Virginia is a sight to behold, brimming with laughter, cheer, and the thunderous sound of cricket balls meeting willow bats. Whether it's the jovial camaraderie between the kids, Wicket's entertaining buffoonery, or the sheer joy of the game, every weekend in Virginia unfolds like a humorous cricketing comic book come to life.
