Very clear indeed!

That's pretty much what it looks like to me too.
Here's a more detailed explanation.
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. 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 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!
More seriously, you can think of it this way, in relation to baseball.
-
The team that is batting can only field two men at a time. This means that, for instance, if you have one guy in the batting position and another on second base, then the batter has to hit the ball far enough to be able to make a run for it...AND...for the other guy to make it back to the batting position. If they screw this up, then one of them will be out and the next man in the batting order will take over.
They can be out in exactly the same way as baseball...by either being caught, or by one of the fielders striking a base (wicket) before the other guy can reach it. -
There are only two bases...so you can't have a diamond, just a straight line. There is no 'home' as such, just an 'active' base and an inactive one. The active one lies right between the batsman and the catcher (wicket keeper). The pitcher doesn't have a mound, but throws from the inactive base.
-
The active base also acts as a target that has to be defended. So in addition to being caught or run out, a batter can also be bowled out if the pitcher (bowler) can get the ball past him and strike the base (wicket). The wicket comprises three stumps topped by a lightly balanced bail (which will fall off at the merest touch) so it's a fairly respectable target. The batter can also be out by being declared LBW (leg before wicket) ie. by being hit on the leg by the ball while attempting to illegally shield the wicket with it. He can also be caught out by the catcher, if the ball actually makes glancing contact with the bat. He can also be out if he hits his own wickets while attempting to defend them.
-
Because of these added difficulties, he's not limited to 3 strikes, but can stay there until he makes a successful hit. Because a batter can stay put for this length of time, the game is divided into 'overs'. Every six balls, the pitcher will bowl from the other end to give the other guy a chance.
-
Because, as in baseball, you can't predict in advance what base you will end up on when you whack the ball and make a run for it, both batsmen hang onto their bats, because either one of them might end up facing the bowler at the next ball. They can use their bats as an arm extension when touching base.
-
A run is made by the 'active' batsman managing to run from one base to the other one as many times as possible. The other batsman is merely mirroring his action (but can still be run out). You can also hit the ball for 4 or 6 runs, depending on whether it rolls over the boundary line or is hit clear over it.
There. All clear now. It's still like watching paint dry.

That makes it clearer

Now I understood it too. One could also describe it in this way:
டெர் எம்ஐடி டெம் லேஅவுட் டெஸ் உண்ட் கேள். ஆடர் எம்ஐடி டெம் டெர் எம்ஐடி டெம் லேஅவுட் டெஸ் உண்ட் கேள். ஆடர் எம்ஐடி டெம் டெர் எம்ஐடி டெம் லேஅவுட் டெஸ் உண்ட் கேள். ஆடர் எம்ஐடி டெம் டெர் எம்ஐடி டெம் லேஅவுட் டெஸ் உண்ட் கேள். ஆடர் எம்ஐடி டெம் டெர் எம்ஐடி டெம் லேஅவுட் டெஸ் உண்ட் கேள். ஆடர் எம்ஐடி டெம் டெர் எம்ஐடி டெம் லேஅவுட் டெஸ் உண்ட் கேள். ஆடர் எம்ஐடி டெம் டெர் எம்ஐடி டெம் லேஅவுட் டெஸ் உண்ட் கேள். ஆடர் எம்ஐடி டெம் டெர் எம்ஐடி டெம் லேஅவுட் டெஸ் உண்ட் கேள். ஆடர் எம்ஐடி டெம் டெர் எம்ஐடி டெம் லேஅவுட் டெஸ் உண்ட் கேள். ஆடர் எம்ஐடி டெம் டெர் எம்ஐடி டெம் லேஅவுட் டெஸ் உண்ட் கேள். ஆடர் எம்ஐடி டெம்.
Do you agree?

or...
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
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 all 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
