The term wicket is associated with the sport of Cricket. When a batsman is dismissed and sent back to the pavillion it is termed as a wicket. People even call the cricket pitch where the game is played a wicket.
The more grass a wicket has on it, the more "lively" it will be. Which means that the ball is more likely to move around. If a wicket is flat, then it will be bare and is unlikely to offer assistance to bowlers. Batsmen usually enjoy the wicket being flatter.
If you count the two batters then 13, if not then 11 (usually 5 batsmen, a wicket keeper, an all-rounder (bats and bowls) and 4 bowlers).
