Stop, you are just making it up.
Cricket one team fields with key players being bowler and wicket keeper (blokebehind the batsman facing the bowler). Twelve mean side.
The other team as twobatsmen on the field who have to run between the wickets to gain one run or hit the ball to the fence for our runs or over the fence for six runs (fence / boundary rope.
Fielding team gets a batsmen out through catching the ball after it was it, running them out (knock the wickets over / bails), bowl them out (bowler hits wickets), lbw (leg beforewicket to block ball when it is bowled), stump them (batsman steps out of crease when they are bowled too a and wicjet keeper knocks bails off).
Then there are different forms of the game.
The ashes are test cricket, so there are 5 days of play, them there is one day cricket 50 over games and more recently 20 over games which are far more exciting to watch.
An over consists if 6 bowls / deliveries. There are many more rules, just the basics.
