I've loved sports my whole life, and never once have I understood cricket either. I remember a guy years ago from New Zealand on a forum I used to frequent loved and played cricket and tried to excitedly explain all the rules to us Americans how it works and all the positions and all this, and it was like reading an essay with like 6 pages to it. By the end of reading it, nobody got it still.

[@sidhackney8831]

Between Danny intuitively being able to interpret the patterns he's seeing as the rules of a sport and Arin being able to mash buttons when prompted they might actually be able to muddle through this better than most other games.

[@HexQuesTT]

I'm English but still have very limited knowledge of cricket, here's everything I know. Cricket is like baseball in that there is a bat and a ball and the fielders would like to catch the ball before it hits the ground to get the batter out (but only if they start running I think?), however in cricket, from what I know, the bowler (pitcher) is trying to hit the stumps behind the batter, which means *aiming directly at the batter with a VERY hard ball* also, if the batter hits the ball and th ball hits the outer ring after hitting the ground that's 4 runs and if it flies past the outer ring that's 6 runs for the batting team, you switch sides when everyone on the batting side is out, this means that matches last days and each team will have runs into the hundreds, and when the ball doesn't hit the outer ring the batter is doing runs where they run to both sides of the thing (idk what it's called) and that's how the get runs without hitting the outer edge, if the fielder knocks off the wicket before the batter can get to it then that batter is out, simple!

[@Mayhemzz]

On the topic of batters and bowlers, teams will have specialists in both. Not everyone bowls but everyone does bat. The better batters will be your openers and higher up on the list (batters go out in a set order) while your bowlers will be at the bottom and are typically not expected to be great batsmen. Bowlers focus on a specific type of bowling, be it fast, spin, or a hybrid style. Fast bowlers will be the "attacking" bowlers who start the game with high energy very fast deliveries while spin bowlers bowl much slower but can make the ball turn huge angles if they're good. Look up Shane Warne's first Test wicket, or any compilation of Shane Warne to see what a truly masterful spin bowler can do.

[@yadneshmande1594]

[@sleepyote]

[@SpikePapp]

To answer your question on when its your turn to bat, it depends on the type of cricket being played: T20 (after 20 overs), One day cricket (after 50 overs), and test cricket (after all batters out). And test cricket is played over 2 innings, potentially over 5 days.
