6 balls in an over. 2 batsmen at the crease. One on and one off strike. Depending on the format, 20-20 (20 overs), odi is 50 overs, test match is 5 days with 80 overs a day (about), hitting ball over boundary on full is 6 runs (runs are like points), on the ground is 4, if it remains within ropes, the batsmen run between each end (and this constitutes 1 run each time), if the fielders return the ball and hit the wickets before they return to crease (either end) they are deemed run out. If the wickets are hit during bowling it is out. If the batsmen hits the ball to a fielder on the full it is out. Their is a bowling crease and a batting crease, and the non strike batsmen waits from the other end and cannot move past crease till ball is bowled. If the ball hits the pads in line with stumps this is deemed LBW (the umpire makes a decision). There are other technicalities, but this shall suffice.
I honestly did not know where to start. You have made a valiant effort at explaining things. @ReformedBrit is a well-known cricket enthusiast who may be able to say a bit more.
