LBW stands for Leg Before Wicket
In cricket, LBW stands for leg before wicket. The point of impact of the ball must be outside the batsman's off stump line in order for the batsman to be given out. Also, the ball must have been played with intention. Otherwise, the batsman will not be out. The umpire must use all his judgment in making a LBW determination.
LBW is often used to describe a low ball which has struck the batsman's pads first. The pitch may determine whether the ball is hard or smooth. It could also be affected by the wicket conditions whether the ball is played before or after wicket. The delivery will be more likely to clear the stumps if the wicket conditions are difficult than if it is smooth.
LBW is when a part of the batsman is hit by 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 for LBW, the ball must hit the batsman's head outside the off stump line. In other words, the batsman must have attempted to strike the ball.
While it is possible for the umpire to make an error on LBW appeals, television replays are available to show if the umpire made the correct decision. This can help a batter fight an LBW appel.
LBY is awarded when part of the batsman's body is struck by a ball
An LBY is a run that a batsman scores when a batted ball deflects off the batter's body, arm, or a boundary. If it does, the run will be credited to the batting side. A LBY (limitation allowance) is also available. It is a leg-bye when a section of a batter's body is hit by the ball.
A batsman must have been struck by a ball or a part of his body to be eligible for LBY. Sachin Tendulkar received a LBW after a ball hit his shoulder. Sometimes, the batsman may have deliberately struck the ball in order to protect his wicket. In these cases, a batsman cannot score on the second hit.
Changes in wicket Cricket since the 18th Century when it was most popular
The 18th-century saw the game of cricket grow significantly. In 18th century England, betting was allowed and the wealthy patrons formed select XIs. The popularity of cricket grew and attracted large amounts of people. Cricket was also exported overseas to North America colonies and West Indies. Its popularity increased and it was soon being played in counties across England.
In the beginning, the wicket consisted only of two upright forked stick that were about one foot apart. To create a bail, a third stick was added in the 18th century. The reason this was done was because the ball would often bounce between the sticks and force the batsman out. The fielders were then required to place the ball in the hole before the batsman could take his bat.
