: >: Extremely simplified and expecting nit-picking from the cricket fanatics:
: >:
: >: * 11 players per team.
: >: * One team bowls while another bats, there are two batsmen in play at any
: >: one time, one at each end of the wicket which is twenty two yards long 
: >and
: >: has a set of wickets at each end.
: >: * The wickets comprise of three vertical sticks (the stumps) and the 
: >bails,
: >: two short sticks across the top of the stumps.
: >: * The bowling team's bowler bowls (throws) the ball at the wickets. If he
: >: succeeeds in removing the bails the player is out.
: >: * The batter can also be out by hitting the ball in the air and being 
: >caught
: >: or by preventing the ball stricking the wickets using his leg.
: >: * Bowling is grouped into "overs", there are six throws of the ball in an
: >: over. After an over the bowler switches ends to bowl at the other wicket.
: >: * Play continues until ten players on the batting side are out.
: >: * The batsman tries to strike the ball so that the two of them can run 
: >from
: >: one wicket to the other. Each time they does this it's a "run", i.e. one
: >: point to the batting side.
: >: * If the batsman hits it over the pitch boundary it's four points, or six 
: >if
: >: it goes over without touching the ground.
: >: * Both sides get two attempts at batting called an innings or 
: >alternatively
: >: a fixed number of overs is agreed.
: >: * When the game is over the side with the most runs wins.
