11 players per team, all fielders are played at once. There are 2 batsmen one at each end of a 22 yard strip with wooden posts (wickets). The bowler uses an overarm throw to knock the ball into the post and remove the batsman at that post from play. The batsmen try and hit the ball into the crowd (possibly not their direct aim) doing so without the ball bouncing scores a 6 (6 points, yay) with bouncing/rolling on the ground it's a 4.
If the ball is hit the batsmen have to run at least once across the batting strip (scoring one point for each one way run of the player batting at that time) and in that time can be either caught if trajectory allows or the ball can be picked up and thrown at the post and thus removed from play.
A bowler gets 6 throws then they switch, called an over professional games range from 20 overs to 5 day long test matches. If a games is 20 overs long and nobody goes out, then it'll just be those 2 people batting for the entire team. Test matches, everyone bats.
That's the basics, different bowl and bat styles and when it's beneficial for a teammate to go out, that sort of thing that honestly I'm not too well versed in.
Trivia: If a batsman is taken out on the first ball it's called a duck, if the first batsman coming up to play is taken out first ball, it's a golden duck.
