Around the Academy:
Introduction
Cricket is played between two teams who each get a chance to bat and bowl.

When they bat a batsman is in until he’s out. When he’s out the next batsman comes in until he’s out.

When all the batsmen are out, the team is all out, apart from one batsman who is not out.

The team that were fielding then go into bat until they are all out and it is a case of the team who scored the most being the winner.

If you're confused by that our rules section should soon set you straight.
