It's a quite simple game really. The bowler attempts to strike the bails, which is part of wicket on stumps, unless of course, it goes out of the popping crease, which the wicket-keeper helps to tend. This is in conjunction with the striker, unless he's a non-striker. Sometimes the ball is dead, and then redelivered. This continues until the over, and there are outs, and non outs, and run outs.Sometimes when the ball is hit, you simply don't feel like running, so you don't. In addition to being caught, bowled or stumped, you can: Handle some balls, Hit the ball twice, Or simply time yourself out. Extras include: no balls, wides, byes, and leg byes. Bye-Byes do not exist in this game. Flippers, Googlies, top-spinners and leg cutters. ~Got that all? Yup....Just like American Baseball. (Only not nearly as much drugs.)
