REHMAN'S CRICKET QUIZ #10

BATTING ON A STICKY WICKET

(If you are trying to locate the previous quiz i.e., QUIZ #9 then click here)

In cricket this phrase has been in use for a long time. To quote Wikipedia:

"An early example of the term can be seen in Bell's Life in London, July 1882: "The ground... was suffering from the effects of recent rain, and once more the Australians found themselves on a sticky wicket."

However, now this word has acquired a methaphorical meaning. My questions are:

1. What is the meaning of batting on a sticky wicket?

2. Do you often find yourself batting on a sticky wicket?

3. Will it be correct to say that this particular person is the #1 batsman on a sticky wicket ?

4. Name this person? Full name please.

5. Why is she happy and what is she saying?
