The Ins and Outs of Cricket

It's quite simple:

You have two sides: one out in the field and one in.

Each man on the side that's in goes out,

and when he is `out' he comes in and the next man goes in until he is `out'.

When they are all `out', the side that's been in the field comes in,

and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get out those coming in.

Sometimes you get men still `in' and not `out',

then when both sides have been in and out

including `not outs' . . . . . that's the end of the game.
