The numbers you put up there refer to runs....the big number, and wickets...0-10. There are eleven players in each side. Each player has a bat against the oppositions bowlers.The bowling side is trying to stop you getting runs and take your wicket. The batter is trying to score runs, and keep his wicket. You dont get any second chances as a batsman, if you get bowled, or caught, or any other dismissal your day is over, and you add one to the wickets value. If you ever see a cricket score you will know who is winning. If they are 2-205 then the batting team is doing well. Two batsmen are dismissed, two more are currently batting, so they are averaging 50 runs each, which is a good start. If you saw 7-160 Then the bowling side is dominating and the game doesnt have long to go because after losing about seven wickets you will be bowling to their worst batsmen....their bowlers.
In one day cricket you have 50 overs, each over has 6 balls in a row, to score as many runs as possible. During one day cricket you are always told what the run rate is. This is the average number of runs/over. 2 or 3 is low, 5 is good, 7 is awesome. Playing for a high run rate involves riskier batting, and more chance of getting out. The other figure they relate is wickets in hand. You start with 10 and that number goes down each time there is a wicket. The more wickets in hand the riskier you can play.
