Yes. A cricket match takes a long Ng time to play. There was a simplified version called "Rounders" popularised in schools. It is quicker to play and focuses on big, spectacular hits.
Cricket is (at the core) a game of defense. The batting team defends the wicket from the attacks of the bowler while also trying to make runs to score. It is absolutely a game of endurance, with a test match lasting a couple days, and a Test Series is about five games.
There are shorter versions of cricket matches, with one day matches (50 overs) and 20/20 (20 overs) and they require differences in strategy.
To sum up, an international Test Match Series has deep strategy, where the resources of the bowler meet the risk-taking of the batsmen over days.
I know it looks a bit dry, but if you like baseball you should watch a game of 20/20 and see if you can come to grips with the reasons the players are doing what they are doing.
Baseball has some roots in cricket right?

I actually have considered that. I figured I would like Cricket. I think I’ll do just that. I seem to have a thing for British stuff
Just select your refreshments accordingly for the game and all is forgiven.
