One year later and I have to say I still don't understand how the amount of bowls left work, what a wicket is in terms of the score or why the aussies wish they were as good as us. |  |

There's a very tense game finishing at this moment. New Zealand have 7 to get, with just two wickets remaining, against Bangladesh. |  |

Runs are the only score which counts. Each side in turn has an innings of ten wickets (11 batsmen, but you have to have one at both ends) to first set the highest score possible, then to try to beat it.
The current competition is One Day, which means each side is limited to 50 six-ball overs (as well as only having ten wickets). Twenty20, as the name suggests, is a quick 20 overs each side. Test matches are the long format, played over 5 days at international level, with no limit on the length of innings and each side getting two goes. | |

If you're that hopeless, you're not serious about getting into the game.
If you really do want to get into it but are blinded by terminology, get into statistics first. |  |

Behave. Asking people that know about the rules as a novice and outside is pretty much common practice | |

think this explains it,even if I cant claim credit for writing it and its about test cricket but still works for ODI :)
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 out those coming in.
Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When both sides have been in and out,
including the not outs, the winner is declared.....if there is one!
Howzat! |  | | |

Fair do's.
Then this world cup is a perfect place to start.
If you can't watch it on TV find online summaries: Cricinfo.com and youtube are great places to start.
Good luck. | |

A wicket is when a batsman is dismissed |
And the strip in the middle of the pitch where the main action takes place. And another name given to the stumps
Yep, I can see why this can be confusing! |  |

There is only one way to get into cricket and that is to watch a test match between England and Australia. And even then, nowadays, you have to wait until about the fourth match in the series when the visiting team will have begun to be acclimatized to the conditions - and hope there is still something to play for. Cricket is a long-lasting, tense and attritional battle between bat and ball where a draw can be a highly satisfactory result after five highly competitive days' play.
There is silly one day competition going on at the moment - bashing 50 overs to the boundary. It isn't really cricket, nor is a version of rounders called 20:20 which is the same, only dafter. | |

except for the five day comment. Test matches rarely last five days any more unless at least one is a washout. | |
