In the sport of cricket, leg before wicket (LBW) is one of the ways in which a batsman can be dismissed. An umpire will rule a batsman out LBW under a complex series of circumstances that primarily include the ball striking the batsman's body (usually the leg) when it would otherwise have continued to hit the wicket.

The LBW rule is designed to prevent a batsman simply using his body to prevent the ball from hitting the wicket (and so avoid being bowled out) rather than using his bat to do so.

Despite the word leg in leg before wicket, the rule applies if the ball hits the batsman on any part of his body, except for the glove of a hand in contact with the bat (which is considered part of the bat

As abbreviated as 'l.b.w.' or 'lbw' this method of dismissal occurs when any part of the batsman's person apart from his hand and forearm, is situted between the two sets of stumps and in the opinion of the umpir prevents a ball, whhich either hits him full, or pitched in line between the two wickets, from hitting the stumps. Current rules state that a batsmen can be given 'lbw' if the ball pitches on the offside of the stumps and would have hit the wicket, but for the batsman preventing it by means of his person, unless he did so whilst attempting to play a stroke.

yeah dude.. if you mean LBW in cricket, then its leg before wicket. when ball comes to the batsman and hits his leg or any part of body, which otherwise would have hit the wickets, then the bowler and fielders can appeal for lbw. and umpire takes the decision by carefully seeing at what height the ball was going and the width or really the ball was going to hit the stumps like that.

Leg Before Wicket

Leg Before Wicket. In simple terms the Batsman's leg (portion below the knees ) has blocked the ball ( bowled by the bowler) from hitting the stumps. Now computer graphics are being used by commentators as to what would have been the trajectory of the ball, after pitching on the ground, had there been no batsman standing on its way. Thus we are able to see for ourselves the veracity of the judgment given by the umpire.

It is a way of a bowler getting a batsman out.
Leg Before Wicket.
If the batsmans leg is in line of the wicket and the ball hits his leg instead of the bat, then he is OUT!
I would have thought with a name like yours you would be a big fan of cricket?
