It's the amount of info more than the info itself, I'm sure it's perfectly understandable if you have played the sport.

Reminds me of this gem

That was hilarious. While the words were gibberish, the tone of the commentary was perfect classic test cricket. As were the sweaters the “players” wore. And, to be fair, the non-gibberish sentences the commentator spoke.

I guess I tried to explain the diagram as simply as possible, for me. But I cannot know if anyone actually understood it lol. That I’ll only know if someone who doesn’t know cricket (ie the vast majority of this site) reads the comment and uses it as a way to understand the positions.
