205 for 4! They might actually do it this year. Isn't this SOOOOO exciting...?

Yup, just you. Don't understand it I'm afraid, but would be nice if England were to win!

I know how you score a 4 (if it rolls over the white rope?) and a 6 (if it goes over the rope before hitting the ground?) but I don't understand this scoring thing of 205 for 4 or whatever....205 is that the number of runs? but what is the 4 all about? And why are there two people batting at the same time? but only one bowler? oooh no no no no, it's all far too complicated for my tiny brain
