1. Two teams, 22 players: Purdue University explains that a cricket match is little more than two teams facing off against each other. Each team has 11 players on the field. One of a team's 11 players is the team captain. This player is primarily responsible for ensuring that a team has no more than 11 players on the field at any given time.
2. Umpires' rulings are final: Lord's notes that the umpire is the final authority in play decisions. Players who fail to follow directions or who balk at an umpire's decision will be turned over to the team captain for dismissal or other discipline measures.
3. Six balls equal one over: The bowler bowls the cricket ball to the striker. If the latter hits it and misses, the ball is considered completed. After the bowler delivers six balls, he has completed an "over." Another team member now takes a turn to bowl the next over.
4. Game duration is negotiated: Teams may agree to play two innings and limit the number of hours they will be on the field. In the alternative, the teams may opt to only play one innings but do so by agreeing on the number of overs ahead of time.
5. Professional-level cricket matches are limited duration games: Even so, these games -- usually referred to as test matches -- last six hours per day and continue for five days. Since test matches must use natural light only, playtime is set between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m

Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the centre of which is a 20-metre (22-yard) pitchwith a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps. The batting side scores runs by striking the ballbowled at the wicket with the bat, while the bowling and fielding side tries to prevent this and dismiss each player (so they are "out"). Means of dismissal include being bowled, when the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails, and by the fielding side catching the ball after it is hit by the bat, but before it hits the ground. When ten players have been dismissed, the innings end and the teams swap roles. The game is adjudicated by two umpires, aided by a third umpire and match referee in international matches. They communicate with two off-field scorers who record the match's statistical information.
