However, since 4 other guys have seemingly done what this guy did

[/ QUOTE ]

Those guys were all specialist batsmen (think outfielders), this guy is a specialist bowler (pitcher). Plus, this guys highest score in any form of cricket was a 90 in a grade cricket match, that's like having 5 HR in a year in an independent league and going and hitting 4 HR in a game in the majors.

h, I see now that that was 4 people to have 200 in their "maiden test"

[/ QUOTE ]

No, "maiden test century" means first test century, so to use a baseball analogy, the first time a guy hit 2 home runs in a game, he hit 4.

[ QUOTE ]
but I don't understand how the scoring works.

[/ QUOTE ]
OK, quick primer

[ QUOTE ]
It sounds like one guy bats a bunch of times in a row

[/ QUOTE ]
close, it's 2 guys from opposite ends of the pitch (a rectangular bit of turf in the middle of an oval field), a run is scored when both batsmen reach the other end of the pitch. After every 6 balls (an over) a different bowler (pitcher) takes over from the other end.

and gets points each bat (up to 6?) that add up to a total score.

[/ QUOTE ]
Pretty much, you score a 4 for hitting it past the boundary after the ball has hit the ground after it leaves your bat, you score 6 if it goes past the boundary on the full.

He stops when he makes an out?

[/ QUOTE ]
Yup, one out
[ QUOTE ]
What's an out - same as baseball?

[/ QUOTE ]
there are several ways you can get out
Bowled - behind you there's 3 stumps, if the ball from the pitcher hits that, you're out
caught - same as baseball
LBW - This one's kinda complex, i'll simplify it - if your leg is adjudged by the umpire to have blocked a ball that was going to hit the stumps and the ball hasn't hit your bat.
Run out - if you're running from one end of the pitch to the other, and the ball hits your stumps when thrown by a fielder.
There's also hit wicket (when your bat or body hits the stumps), handled the ball (when you well, grab the ball) hit ball twice (self-explanatory), timed out (the batsmen takes too long to get out there) and obstructing the field (when a batsman goes and intentionally stops a fielder from doing something) but these are very very rare and hardly bear talking about.

[ QUOTE ]
Is the number he scores (a "six") how many times he runs somewhere after he hits it, like back and forth to a base?

[/ QUOTE ]
I explained that one.

Do cricket fans think baseball words are funny?

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, yes we do.
