Baffled by the rules of cricket? Not sure what the hell is going out there? Fear no more as here it is, cricket for beginners:
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that’s in the side that’s in goes out, and when he’s out he comes in and the next man goes in until he’s out. When they are all out, the side that’s out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.

You will want to hit me for this but even with all that information, cricket is still incomprehensible as far as I am concerned.

Ahhhh - somehow I knew I would be cross-eyed by the end of this post. You do know if you were near I would clip you over the head with something, right?
And that something could well be a bat!!!

Thought that is a great explanation, is there a better explanation for people who really want to understand how the sport is played?
