Don't understand why you colonials have such problems with this - 
it's so simple really:

Definition of cricket

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 thats 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!

HOWZAT!
