Up to the sticks
Vaas to Lumb, no run, VVS is such a gentleman and he has proved it again! Gilly is up to the sticks, a thick outside edge, falls in front of VVS, on the bounce to him and he immediately raises his hand to say that it did not carry, VVS was at slip BTW
Could you please explain to me the emboldened parts?
I guess here sticks means "stumps" so "up to the sticks" means "Gilly moved towards the stumps".

Yes you've got it. I did wonder when you were going to give us a post from the IPL today. DC is being thumped by the RR as I type this.

Just as a thought and don't let this confuse you. I cricket the stumps are often called sticks but in everyday speech you might here 'up sticks' . Up sticks means to move (house) and I think it still comes from a cricket origin but wouldn't place a bet on it.
