The technical vocabulary of any subject is baffling to those who have no knowledge of the subject.
Cricket is basically a very simple game. You have two teams of 11 players. One side bats, the other side tries to get the batsmen out. The main method of scoring is to either run between the wickets (a length of 22 yards - one "chain"), or to hit the ball over the boundary of the field. The main methods of getting a batsman out are either that he hits the ball and the ball is caught before touching the ground, or that the bowler hits the wicket with the ball (there are various other methods, but they are less common). A team bats until all their men are out, and then they swap over, and the other team bats. The side which ends up with the highest score wins.
