When all 11 men have batted that is called an innings. An opening batsman can bat through the entire innings yes. At the end of an over, the bowlers swap ends, but the batsmen do NOT. Introduces a little extra twist.
Now I have seen everything. I have become a cricket bore. I am going to stop now. 🙂
You aren't a bore, you're an educator! : -)
I'm a little confused by this latest, though. If 11 men (one side) batting constitutes an inning, how can just one batsman bat through the entire inning? I thought the inning was defined by everyone on a side batting.

Two batsman start the batting. They don't bat sequentially, it's a partnership, whoever is facing the bowler is the one who bats. So if the second of the opening batsman goes out, and so does everyone else on the side (or the number of overs is reached, or the side declares), the person who started can still be there when that side finishes.
There are always 2 batsman at the crease, one at each end.

here it goes...
When a team goes into bat, two of them go in togehter, One will be the striker and the other non striker. They rotate the strike by taking runs. When one goes out, another one comes in. Let us say one of the openers does not get out at all. But the other batsmen all get out. Then one of the opener could be batting till the end of the innings. When he runs out of partners (Only 11 men allowed to bat) then the innings comes to an end.
I hope that I explained it good

Ah, so if you and I are batting and the bowler is facing me, I bat against him until he has bowled 6 balls or until he get me out. If, on the bowler's 6th ball I run an odd number of bases, then I'll be facing the new bowler who will be facing the other direction? But if I hit a 4 or 6 on that 6th ball, or run an even number of bases, then the other batsman will bat and I'll still be there, but not the active batter.
Is that right?
And thanks so much everyone for the clarifications.

Not quite. He bowls 6 balls, but you may not face them all. If, on the first ball you only make 1 run, then for the next ball, I'll be facing the bowler. If I make 1 run, then on the next you're facing him again.
If, on the bowler's 6th ball I run an odd number of bases, then I'll be facing the new bowler who will be facing the other direction? But if I hit a 4 or 6 on that 6th ball, or run an even number of bases, then the other batsman will bat and I'll still be there, but not the active batter.
Kinda. No bases in cricket though. If on the 6th ball you make an odd number of runs, then you'd be facing the new bowler from the other direction. But you may not have faced all the balls in that over.
That's why you'll see things like 'Tom and Harry made a 82-run 5th wicket partnership'

Ah, right, I didn't take into account odd runs before the 6th ball. Thanks!

Oops! Run an odd number of creases? Make an odd number of runs? Terminology difficulty! : -)
When someone "bats a 4" or "bats a 6" do they physically run between the creases the way a baseball player runs around the bases after a home run or do they just get the points?

Make an odd number of runs. The crease is the white line on the pitch that shows where the batsman is 'safe' and where the bowler bowls from. It's not the space between the two wickets, that's called the pitch.
When someone "bats a 4" or "bats a 6" do they physically run between the creases the way a baseball player runs around the bases after a home run or do they just get the points?
They'll often run, because when the ball is hit it's hard to tell if the ball is going for a 4 or a 6, but they won't make 4 or 6 runs, often they won't even make one full run if it's obvious where the ball is going. For a 4 they may still run, because if the fielder gets the ball just before it hits the boundary line, the number of runs they made is what counts.
4: Hit boundary line without been caught
6: Cross boundary line without hitting the ground.

Thanks, I'd managed to infer what a 4 and a 6 was from the highlights show I'd seen and from some manga I've read.
