You didn't finish your excellent ,clear and descriptive explanation..
Please continue...

"When both sides have been in and out, including those not out, and no longer in - that is the end of the game. (Five days later)
Of course, the side that is in (To be continued..)"
As a Canadian brought up in hockey,cricket makes no sense to me at all..
I have watched it and tried to make sense of it but can't make hide nor hair of sense of it..
As I see it a guy with a stick trys to keep a guy with a ball from wailing on a bunch of bowling pins behind home plate...
Scoring is unfathomable..
I'm sure a guy with a Enfield could make a dent on them pins from the pitching mound..but that probably wouldn't be "Cricket..""
Carry on with your excellent description of the game..We are listening...
