"Mitch Moreland singled to right field for the first hit off Cain with one out in the third inning and moved to second base on Wilson's sacrifice bunt. Cain avoided further trouble by retiring Andrus on a popup to center field."
Just reading a report on the Giants vs Rangers game. I have only the vaguest idea of what any of that sentence means. This must be what it feels like to read a cricket match report without knowing the terminology.

Here's perhaps a comparable sentence in a cricket match report: "Sehwag immediately gets the ball to grip outside Katich's leg stump, forcing a leading edge, but the ball pierces the gap between silly point and slip. Kato turns a full toss off his toes through mid-wicket for four."
