How is the game of cricket played?

Tweet

Am a passionate fan of sport especially football,i follow all major European leagues with a lot of zeal,i love the premier league so much, to me its possibly the best league in the world without a doubt.i do follow other sports like basketball,tennis and boxing,however there is one sport i enjoy watching but i understand very little about, and that is cricket.i enjoy watching cricket players running on the field chasing after balls and fans and players going wild whenever a ball is struck out of the field but i just don't get it......i commonly hear of things like "overs", "six","four" but don't comprehend. can someone please share on how cricket is played? Thanks.
