Howzat!

Date: 3/5/2020

It's England v New Zealand and the Kiwis have been set a fairly low target in the second innings to win the match. I can't remember the exact score but it was definitely under 200. Something like 183. I remember thinking in the dream that it was a one day match but the score appears on a board telling me New Zealand have to bat again so it must be a test match. I am then first up to bat, it's not a pair just me on my own. It appears that in my version of cricket that the first few innings have the bowling team circle round the batsman and hurl the ball as hard as they can at the wicket. I remember thinking in the dream that this was perfectly normal, just part of the game. My target was just to not get out and then leave a clear run for my team mates once the normal bowling started. So I am desperately defending my wicket and dealing with the onslaught but I don't seem to be overly concerned about it. The umpire also is standing in front of me to my left. I don't know if it is him or it comes from somewhere else but a coin comes my way. I don't think it was coming at me too fast as I casually bat it to the side. The umpire catches it and jokingly says to me "You're out".
