Out

When a bowler gets a batsman out it is said that the bowler gets a "wicket". if the ball is bowled and hits the striking batsman's wickets the batsman is given out (as long as at least one bail is removed by the ball). if a batsman hits the ball or touches the ball at all with his bat or hand/glove holding the bat then the batsman can be caught out. Leg Before Wicket (LBW) - If the ball is bowled and it hits the batsman first without the bat hitting it. however the umpire need to decide is would the ball have hit the wickets if the batsman was not there. If his answer to this is yes and the ball was not pitched on the leg side of the wicket he can safely give the batsman out. However if the ball hits the batsman outside the line of off stump while he was attempting to play a stroke then he is not out. a batsman is out if no part of his bat or body is grounded behind the popping crease while the ball is in play and the wicket is fairly put down by the fielding side.  if a batsman hits his wicket down with his bat or body after the bowler has entered his delivery stried and the ball is in play then he is out.
