Sticky Wickets

Soft balls, sticky wickets, suitable mallets.

Wickets and poles that would stand up by themselves -say, with suction cups, sticky bottoms (eeww), or heavy, weighted, cloth bottoms.

Soft, rubbery balls (again, eeewww) - perhaps inflated.

Mallets.

Now one can play croquet indoors and utilize all of the obstacles and terrain found in the indoor landscape, such as furniture, stairs, and doorways.

       indoor croquet. splendid. +   

       <aside> when I arrived at university, we had a meeting with the hall warden. He ended his briefing with these words. "I know that the 3-bar radiators look like a wicket, but I want to make it quite clear that it's not acceptable to play Corridor Cricket." Up until that point, it had never occured. Safe to say, a marvellous season of F-Block corridor cricket ensued. </aside>

       Magnificent. A croissant for upholding the fine and long-standing eccentricities of the game of croquet. Double points for getting the ball through the cat's legs I presume?

       Stickey wickets, Stickey Wages, Stickey Hilltops. Whichever you've climbed. (Oh. It wasn't Stickey Widgets, was it?).
