Grey Mage, does this help?
When the batsman hits the ball he may run to the other end of the wicket. The batsman at that end runs to his end. This is 1 run (as long as they don't get out). They can run as many runs as are safe after hitting it (usually 1,2 or 3 but sometimes more) If the ball is hit into the fence, it counts as 4 runs; if it goes over the fence on the full, it is 6 runs.
The object is to get more runs than the other team. Like baseball in that respect, one team bats to get run, the other teams fields to prevent them from getting runs and trys to get them out.
I hope this what you want. Forgive me if i'm being too simplistic or not detailed enough. What do the other cricket fiends think?
