It is a boring game.. slow as molasses!
In a gist:
Two teams, each with 11 players.
One team will bat and another will field. All 11 ppl need to bat before the other team can bat.
When both finish batting, it is called an inning.
There are two batsmen. A bowler (like a baseball pitcher) can bowl or throw) the ball six times before another takes over... hence called an OVER.
The batsman's job is to hit the ball and protect the wickets (the vertical sticks behind him). If the ball touches the wickets, he is out. If he hits the ball into the air and someone catches it, the batsmen is out.
When the ball is hit, the two batsmen run and exchange places. That is one RUN. If the ball is hit and crosses the boundary while touching the ground it is 4 runs. If it is a fly ball and goes outside the boundary, it is 6 runs (equivalent to a home run in baseball)

Cricket is a bat and ball sport played between two teams, usually of eleven players each. A cricket match is played on a grass field (which is usually roughly oval), in the centre of which is a flat strip of ground 22 yards (20.12 m) long, called a pitch. At each end of the pitch is a set of three parallel wooden stakes (known as stumps) driven into the ground, with two small crosspieces (known as bails) laid on top of them. This wooden structure is called a wicket. A player from the fielding team (the bowler) bowls a hard, fist-sized cork-centred leather ball from one wicket towards the other. The ball usually bounces once before reaching a player from the opposing team (the batsman), who defends the wicket from the ball with a wooden cricket bat. The batsman, if he or she does not get out, may then run between the wickets, exchanging ends with the other batsman (the "non-striker"), who has been standing in an inactive role near the bowler's wicket, to score runs. The other members of the bowler's team stand in various positions around the field as fielders. The match is won by the team that scores more runs.

well explaining the entire game would take a book.
but here's a little bit.
its like baseball but with 2 bases.
an over consists of 6bowls, by the baller(pitcher)
The person at home base is the batsman.
the boundary is circular, and if you hit a home-run you score 6runs.
there are 10 fielders, one baller, and always 2 batsmen, and 2umpires.
a team consists of 11 players + extras.

I understand enough to be bored to death watching it, playing in the yard can be fun though

My condolences, it is the most boring game ever, baseball on valium would be more exciting.
read a book or listen to your ipod.

1) You rip off their back legs
2) first 1 to the finish line wins
