Netfriend: I have no idea of even the basics of cricket, and would have a hard time finding an analogy to it!

My helpfulness:

Basics (hope this helps):

The game is played by two groups.

The first group is in and the second group goes out.

Some of the group which is in, go out.

The group that is out, tries to get the group that is in, out.

When one of the group that is in, is out, he goes in and the next one goes out.

Then when all of the first group (except one) that is in, is out, the second group that is out goes in.

The first group now goes out and tries to get the second group, who now are in, out.

Only when both groups have been in and out twice is there a conclusion.

~~~

Now that you've got it, (and note that both groups/teams have 11 players)

the match in the Bible was when Peter, in Acts, stood up before the eleven and was bowled (bold)!
