Powerplays are fielding restrictions in one day matches, where the fielding side must have all their players bar two inside the 30-yard fielding circle (the ring right around the middle of the picth) There are 3 sets of powerplays; 1st powerplay is the first 10 overs, which have to be taken straight away; Powerplay 2 and 3 are two sets of 5 overs a piece, which can be taken at any time by the fielding side, but generally, they choose overs 11-15 and 16-20, to get them out of the way early. In cases like this, you often don't use the powerplay if a spinner is bowling, the spinner or other slow bowlers appear in the 21st over.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerplay_(cricket)

Strike rate when batting is runs scored divided by balls faced, times 100 (to get a percentage)
So, in today's game, Matthew Hayden scored 181 runs off 166 balls. This gives him a strike rate of 109.03
Strike rate for bowling is the average number of balls bowled before a bowler takes a wicket.
Economy rate for a bowler, especially in an ODI match is also considered, it is the number of runs scored off that bowler, divided by the number of overs bowled by him. Today so far, Shane Watson has bowled 7 overs and conceded 60 runs, thats an economy rate of 8.57 runs per over.

Instead of the first fifteen consecutive overs being restrictive to fielders being inside the circle, teams can now split the restrictive overs into three sets of five overs to be chosen anytime through their 50 overs of fielding.

Tough game to explain at the best of times. Tried explaining to my girl at the time the fielding positions once when we were at a game in Oslo. She just gave up and said 'det var dumme'

That's not the case.
