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 car as we know it is on the way out. To a large extent, I deplore its passing, for as a basically old- fashioned machine, it enshrines a basically old-fashioned idea: freedom. In terms of pollution, noise and human life, the price of that freedom may be high, but perhaps the car, by the very muddle and confusion it causes, may be holding back the remorseless spread of the regimented, electronic society.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“All cries are thin and terse;
The field has droned the summer’s final mass;
A cricket like a dwindled hearse
Crawls from the dry grass.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
