Playing cricket
Cricket, Cricket match, Cricket bat
A cricket match can last five days, stop for lunch and tea and still end in a draw, so a cricket dream is about patience and staying power. Facing the bowler alone at the crease shows you're holding your ground under pressure while the rest of the team watches and waits. Fielding in the sun calls for attention through long, quiet stretches. A village match on a summer afternoon carries a sense of tradition and easygoing community. The old phrase "it's not cricket" means something isn't fair, so the dream may also be about playing by the rules.
