Did you bowl, stump, run out, or hit wicket? If not sure, check the bail |
|
a bail is one of the two smaller sticks placed on top of the three stumps to form a wicket. The bails are used to determine when the wicket is broken, which in turn is one of the critical factors in determining whether a batsman is out bowled, stumped, run out or hit wicket...
I read shit like this and I am once again grateful for our Founding Fathers.

and notice the withering assault Glen McGrath is making on the hapless English batsmen, I can assure you that the batsmen are being bowled, caught and generally terrorized.
