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 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 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.Meta !Sober//iZs joined in and replied with this 7 years ago, 12 minutes later[^] [v] #905,971

Each man that's in the side [team] that's in [to bat] goes out [onto the field],
and when he's [struck] out he comes in [off-play] and the next man goes in [to play] until he's [struck] out.
When they [batting team] are all [struck] out, the side that's out [on the field] comes in [to bat]
and the side that's been in [to bat] goes out [onto the field] and tries to get those [opposite team] coming in [to bat], out [of play].
Sometimes you get men still in and not out [gained runs, not struck out].
When a man goes out [running] to go in [run back],
the men who are out [in field] try to get him out [of play]
, and when he is out [of play] he goes in [out of play]
and the next man in [line] goes out [running]
and goes in [running back].
There are two men [judges] called umpires
who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in
[batting] are out [of play].
When both sides have been in [to bat]
and all the men have been out [to field],
and both sides have been out [playing] twice
after all the men have been in[side], including those who are not out [were not eliminated]
that is the end of the game.

Cricket is the finest sport on God's green earth. A gentleman's game. A game of skill and strategy. There are few things in life I adore more than the sight and sound of leather on willow as Joe Root sends an out-swinger racing towards the boundary past square leg.
