“Back to the pavilion” is an idiomatic expression primarily used in the context of cricket, but it has broader applications as well. Here are the meanings in different contexts:
Cricket Context
In cricket, the pavilion is the place where players sit when they are not on the field. When a player is “back to the pavilion,” it means that they have been dismissed (out) and have to return to the pavilion from the playing field. This term signifies the end of the player’s current stint at batting.
Broader Context
In a more general sense, the expression “back to the pavilion” can be used metaphorically to indicate that someone has had to stop their current activity, usually due to a failure or setback, and return to a starting point or place of retreat. It implies a return to a place of regrouping or reassessment after an unsuccessful attempt or outcome.
