A lot of people remember the early days when they started playing cricket. Wherever they played, they remember the intricate details of their early playing days, such as what their role was, if the match was held in their backyard or on a busy street, and similar. In addition, potential cricketers also have a tendency to remember what served as their "wicket" for the first time. Early days saw the following being placed as a wicket:

1- Stones (leg-stump or off-stump consisted of 2 stones, or 3 stones. Did you use to measure the off-stump and the leg-stump with the blade of the bat?)

2- Sandals/broken down shoes (ripped sandals was a popular wicket-taking method)

3- Mango crate (when mangoes were in season).

4- Pepsi/Coke crate (imagine a ball thumping on a crate. The sound it creates is unparallel)

5- Anything else from your memory?

Also, there was a storage room in the backyard. It had some metal sorta door which served as the best wicket.
