Cricket in general is an extremely simple game. You have two teams. One team will bat while the other team will bowl. The team that is bowling has a number of fielders positioned around the ground. They are in place to try and catch the ball or throw it back to the wicket while the batsmen are running. There are several ways in which you can get the batsmen out. And when they are all out, the bowling team then becomes the batting team and vice versa.
