Oram is the name of a Kiwi (not a fruit but a New Zealandder) New Zealand is an island just south of Hawaii.

Strauss was a famous composer, and also and Englishman on his debut at Lords. Lords is a cricket ground.

Tea is an afternoon meal which involves tiffin and a cup of cha.

Strauss was made to attempt to strike the ball, and he missed, an indication that the ball had just missed the outside edge.

Strauss undid orams good work and clipped - ie. delicately spanked, him on his leg side four four of the Queen's runs.

I trust this has made the game easier to understand.
