Not a brit, but an Aussie, but anyway...

When batsman is in, he goes out, and stays in until he is out, in which
case he goes back in, and the next batsman who is in goes out, and stays in
until he is out, and so on, until the team that is in is all out. Then the
team that was out goes in, and each of their batsmen go out, and stay in
until they are out, or something like that.

Sorry - couldn't resist replying to this. :-)

Cheers,
Geoff
