Car cricket, also known as pub cricket, is a car game which is played in the United Kingdom and other countries with a sufficient number of suitably named pubs. The game's popularity has declined with the increase in motorway travel, where long car journeys typically bypass towns, hardly ever passing a public house.

Famous quotes containing the words car and/or cricket:
“The American Dream has run out of gas. The car has stopped. It no longer supplies the world with its images, its dreams, its fantasies. No more. It’s over. It supplies the world with its nightmares now: the Kennedy assassination, Watergate, Vietnam.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
