Two Teams, *bat* is tossed to see who bats v's who fields. Batting team has 2 batters out on the *pitch* at a time. You have spin bowlers (slow) and fast bowlers (obvious). To get a batter out (who is facing the ball) you must
a) bowl them out - this can be done by hitting the *stumps/wicket* (sticks at each end of the pitch) as the ball is bowled at the batter.
b) field them out - caught ball (can be caught off the batters pads as well as in field)
c) run them out - if a batter doesnt make it over the white lines and the ball strikes the wickets
d) LBW - Leg Before Wicket...this is where you will see/hear everyone jump around and go "HOWZZZZAAATT!!!!". This is where the batter puts himself in front of the wicket, protecting it as such, from getting bowled.

Scored - runs are 1, 4's (when the ball hits the fence/rope) or 6's (over the fence).

Someone else will have to explain the One Dayer v's Several Dayer.

I know you have to chase the other teams score and have *wickets* (batters not out) in hand at the end of a One Dayer.

Ummm - you will have to ask if you want to know anything else, I'm way past my 2 paragraphs.
