(Special Term: Wicket. The wicket is a set of 3 flexible posts with a small wooden plank, called a bail, placed on top. They are found on both sides of the batsman/bowler area (Which I think is also called the wicket))
The bowler hucks the ball at the ground, making it bounce up, and trying to hit the wicket with the ball.
The Battsman tries to hit the ball away from the wicket.
If the batter connects, he can put down his bat and run to the other side.
He has a teammate on the other side who runs like he does.
If somebody catches the ball, the batsman is dismissed (out)
If somebody can knock the bail of the wicket before the two players can switch sides, it's also a dismissal.
This repeats until 10 of the 11 players on a team have batted
Then the teams witch, and the other team tries to score.
There is a lot more to it, but that's the lesser basics. Thinking about it, the sport (prior to my original impression) isn't too overly complex, however, it would probably be one of the worst sports to spectate next to golf. The games can last for DAYS (I actually mean that!) Who would want to watch two guys switch sides for 3 days straight? Not that baseball's any more interesting... Or football... or nascar racing... Know what? Spectating sports is pretty much stupid in general. Why not just play the sport...
F*** NO!!! You'll have to hit a ball 300 yards into a gopher hole over sand and water, around corners, over trees, and do it in 4 hits or less to even compete!
