What's the point of there being two batsmen on the field if only one of them is allowed to hit the ball at a time, and only that batsmen crossing the field counts as a run?

wait, i thought it was like a team thing,
like whoever is at the wickets opposite the bowler whenever they choose to stop running is the dude that gets to whack the ball for a while,
and if that dude gets out, the next dude in rotation fills in, and so on, until they're outta batters
heck are they doin in this sport

It adds a level of depth to team strategies.
For example you could have 2 good batsmen out there, one right handed and one left handed. They rotate the strike often, and the opposition bowlers and captains have to keep adjusting field and the deliveries they have to keep bowling.
Or if you have a good batsman and a shit batsman (usually towards the end, a fulltime bowler). The good batsman will try to keep being on strike to protect the shit batsman, while the fielding team will try to get the bowler they want to go for the shit batman on strike as much as possible.
The other thing to consider is sometimes these batsmen have to be out there for hours at a time, rotation helps keep them fresher.

Cricket was definitely a troll from England onto the east India trading company, they were probably tired and disgusted of the poos and some captain thought up a game with ridiculous rules and entities, but the retarded Indians couldn't deduce this and stayed playing and practicing the game and then England returned for more trading only to find out that now they have to play this retarded game with the poos or look like dickheads.
Should have just looked like dick heads.
