As there are a number of people new to the sport who are planning to join us in this little romp I thought I would repost the rules of the game that Michael shared during our 1st foray into the land of fantasy cricket, enjoy!
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.
And if that doesn't clear the sport up for you try the Cricket 101 link on the right for a slightly more technical look.
