Since the first
recorded cricket match in Sussex, England in
1697, the sound of wood hitting leather has
become a sweet melody for legions of
fans around the world. So it is for the people
of Antigua and Barbuda.
Introduced
to the eastern Caribbean nearly a century
ago, cricket has become as beloved to
Antiguans as the steady trade winds,
powdery soft white beaches and pristine
coral reefs that bless their island paradise.
Antigua has produced some of the West
Indies' foremost cricketers -- including
Sir Vivian "Master Blaster" Richards,
Richie Richardson and fast bowlers Curtley
Ambrose and Andy Roberts.
Catch the action
live on Antigua's newest cricket field
from our verandah, or indoors on the
colour monitors in our casual, club-like
atmosphere. Either way, you can experience
the sport that captures the enthusiasm
and imagination of the people of this
island, the Caribbean and millions of
people around the world.
Also dear to
the hearts of Antiguans is their music,
which is prominently featured during
Carnival, the annual emancipation celebration
held each August. When you're not watching
cricket, we'll bring you the sounds of
calypso, steel drums, soca and reggae
from our extensive collection.
The Sticky
Wicket embraces the sport and ambience
of cricket, and welcomes you to a world
of tradition and sportsmanship. Just
as the all-star West Indies team's quest
for excellence led them to 15 years of
undefeated test series, our quest for
excellence in the quality of our cuisine,
service and atmosphere will bring you
back to The Sticky Wicket over and over
again.
