[The PIT]

One the best spin bowlers I've seen in my life.

No regard for the the type of wicket the player is bowling on lets slag him off when he gets the record.

It's cricket.. don't even TRY to understand it..

I couldn't come up with a clever line hinting at The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy's opinion on cricket, so I'll just say that it's a bad, bad thing.

I tried reading that article, but it's like another language entirely

as I dust off my rusty Cricket knowledge..

The wicket itself is the set of 3 wooden polls at the end with the bails placed across the top.

However in this reference he is talking about the pitch. As from memory Warne is a spin bowler, the condition of the pitch greatly affects his ability to control the ball.
*the pitch can be in any condition from perfect, to dry and cracked to wet and soggy.
