Anyone here know the game well enough to give a summary; play, the scoring. I have not seen enough to figure it out.

Play for 5 days and if it gets a bit cloudy call it a draw

I've been watching my wife play for around seven years, and I'm still learning all the ins and outs. I just know the basics.

it's kinda like baseball, except you don't run the bases, but just run back and forth, scoring each time...

Okay, the 5 days must explain how they get 200-300 points, right?

Nope. That's one day of play. It will start early in the morning and go all day long, with a break for lunch. There are game types that have 20 overs (innings) that'll take a few hours. Others have 40 overs and take around 6. Games like the Ashes just play all day long until the light levels get too low.

Using tablet so auto correct has made a mess

Stop, you are just making it up.

Cricket one team fields with key players being bowler and wicket keeper (blokebehind the batsman facing the bowler). Twelve mean side.

The other team as twobatsmen on the field who have to run between the wickets to gain one run or hit the ball to the fence for our runs or over the fence for six runs (fence / boundary rope.

Fielding team gets a batsmen out through catching the ball after it was it, running them out (knock the wickets over / bails), bowl them out (bowler hits wickets), lbw (leg beforewicket to block ball when it is bowled), stump them (batsman steps out of crease when they are bowled too a and wicjet keeper knocks bails off).

Then there are different forms of the game.

The ashes are test cricket, so there are 5 days of play, them there is one day cricket 50 over games and more recently 20 over games which are far more exciting to watch.

An over consists if 6 bowls / deliveries. There are many more rules, just the basics.

Here's a great Wright Thompson piece on cricket. Not a summary of the rules, but gets into some of the heart & soul & nuance of it. And it's just excellent sportswriting.
