Wicket marker

I use a straight edge, 8' 8" long, string, measuring tape and pegs (screwdrivers in fact).

My experience with frames is that they are easily bent or broken, and on a cricket course I went on we looked at a commercially made frame and it wasn't accurate. When looking for a frame, remember that 8' 8" is measured from the inside of the two return creases and the distance of 4' should be from the back of the popping crease to the back of the bowling crease where the stumps are (see Useful Info on this site).
