I know what you mean - it can be very boring to watch, particularly when 
the viewer doesn't really understand the game.  (And can be boring to 
watch even when the viewer does understand the game.)

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in 
the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next 
man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out 
comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those 
coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, 
and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. 
There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they 
decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and 
all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all 
the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end 
of the game!

Understand it now :-)
