Wicket

authoritative composed detached professional
Wicket serves as the sole umpire for the Cranleigh family's cricket match in 1925, enforcing the game's rules with measured precision. Dressed in traditional white attire, he moves efficiently between calls, his voice cutting decisively through the match's escalating chaos. Unlike the elite players around him, he remains focused on duty rather than spectacle, calling dismissals without fanfare. His presence is minimal—a necessary authority figure who ensures fair play even as the Doctor's unorthodox performance upends expectations.
