How does cricket work? Here is a passage in the front of a book I own. Enjoy:
"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 not out. When a man goes out to be in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in, and the next man goes out and goes in. There are also two men called umpires who stay 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 except one have been 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."
