LBW is for Leg Before Wicket
In cricket, LBW stands for leg before wicket. The ball must impact outside of the batsman's line of sight in order to be declared out. To be declared out, the ball must have also been played with intent. The umpire must use his best judgment to make a LBW ruling.
LBW is often used to describe a low ball which has struck the batsman's pads first. Depending on the pitch, the ball could be either hard or plumb. It is possible for the wicket to influence whether or not the ball is leg before wicket. If the wicket is difficult, the delivery has a greater chance to clear the stumps than if it's slow.
LBW means that a part or all of the batsman’s body is struck with a ball.
LBW, a term in cricket that describes a dismissal after a part or all of the batsman's bodies has been hit with a ball, is a term. To be eligible to receive LBW, the ball has to strike the batsman at least halfway between the wickets or outside the off stump. In other words, the batter must have tried to strike a ball.
Even though it is possible for umpires to make mistakes on LBW appeals television replays can show if they made the right decision. This can help a batsman to fight an LBW appeal.
LBY is when a ball strikes a part the batsman.
An LBY is a run a batsman gets when a ball hits the batter's body, arm or boundary. If it does so, the run will go to the batting partner. A LBY is also a boundary allowance. If the ball strikes a part or all of a batsman's leg, it is called a leg bye.
To be eligible for LBY, a batter must have been hit by a ball. Sachin Tendulkar for instance was given out as a LBW because a ball hit his shoulder. Sometimes the batsman may deliberately strike the ball to protect himself. These cases mean that a batsman can't score on the second hit.
The popularity of wicket cricket in the 18th Century has been changed
The 18th century saw significant growth in cricket. Betting was introduced, and wealthy patrons created select XIs. The game of cricket also became more popular and attracted large crowds. Cricket was also exported to the colonies in the West Indies and North America. It quickly gained popularity and was being played across England.
The wicket was originally composed of two upright forked sticks, about one-foot apart. To make a bail, a third forked stick was added to the wicket in early 18th-century. The reason this was done was because the ball would often bounce between the sticks and force the batsman out. Before the batsman could ground his bat, the fielders had to place it in the hole.
