Bowling

Bowling in cricket is when a bowler bowls a ball from one part of the pitch to the other part. The main reason of bowling is to take a wicket, and a wicket is taken when the ball hits the stumps and the bails fell, then a batsman is declared out.There are many reasons to get out,you can get out if you are running between the wickets and you fail to reach your crease before the wicketkeeper catches the bowl from the fielder and take off the bails, or if you play a shot in the air and the fielder catches without letting it bounce on the ground.You can even get stumped, supposing a batsman tries to play a shot and he misses it and his feet is out of the crease and the wicketkeeper takes the ball and hits and removes the bails then the batsman is declared out, this is usually done when a spinner is balling. One other way is to trap the batsman in front of the wickets, this is done when the batsman tries to bring his front foot before the wickets and disallows the ball to touch the wicket, this kind of out is called LBW, which means Leg Before Wicket. Usually fast bowlers are fun to watch, coz they rock the stadium with their bowlings.
