When the team that is OUT get the team that is IN, OUT, the team that was OUT is now the team that is IN and the team that was IN is now the team that is OUT.
Then, the team that was IN but is now the team that is OUT try to get the team that was OUT but is now the team that is IN, OUT.
And the team that was OUT but is now the team that is IN try to stop the team that was IN but is now the team that is OUT from getting them, (the team that is IN), OUT.
And they try to do this before rain stops play.
I hope this helps.
Let me take a stab at this in terms the average American can understand:
Cricket is like baseball except with a fraternity paddle instead of a bat, you don't actually run the bases (except first), a foul tip is as good as a home run, and the game lasts approx. 187 innings.
Did I get it about right?
