If there's one game I struggle to understand, it's cricket 😂.

I understand that as a batsman, you have to hit the ball very far and high, such that the other team's player is unable to catch it until it lands (I guess 😂). I hope I'm right?

Then, if you get to catch the ball due to the batsman's poor hit, you try to hit the wickets with it, right?

Then I think you get to make runs while the ball is traveling? Not sure I really understand the "making runs and getting wickets" part.. I've always wondered how cricket fans enjoy the game. 😁
