What kind of a joke is that?
Basically, it's this:
The batting team will try and preserve wickets, and attempt to score as many runs as they can.
The bowling team wants to take as many wickets as it can, aka have as many players on the other team "out" as they can.
Each team has 10 wickets.
The inning for the 1st team...
Depends on format.
One day internationals (ODIs) and Twenty 20 (T20): 1 inning per team
Test cricket: 2 innings per team.
81-9: 81 = number of runs NZ have scored, 9 = number of wickets they have lost
More like HRs, but unlike baseball, there are 2 "home-runs" in cricket.
When it hits the ground and goes beyond the ropes, it's 4 runs.
When it goes over the rope, like a hr, without hitting the ground, it's 6 runs.
