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.
Hope that clears things up

I think probably the closest analogy would be a 'six' ie when the batsman knocks the ball over the boundary line without it touching the ground. The six (points) is awarded automatically. The batsman does not need to run between the wickets.
This might help you understand the nuances of our sport

For some reason Roger ( and I will apologise in advance ) that conjures up a vision of a drug filled haze on the hippy trail somewhere close to Marrakech.
