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 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.

Other forms of Cricket have one innings each and are of limited overs (six legal balls/over and either 50 or 20 overs per side). The only difference I know of for the ball is colour. Test match balls are red, while limited overs matches are white. The limited overs matches are often played under lights, and it's a bit hard to see the red ball coming at you at 150kph under lights.

I'll go finish my playing in the dirt project as the sun starts to go down. I'm building a small RC track with some jumps. Nice having tractors, just a couple hours last night and tonight and I'll be ready to go!
