WBowled

Bowled is a method of dismissing a batsman in the sport of cricket. This method of dismissal is covered by Law 30 of the Laws of cricket.
A batsman is out bowled if his wicket is put down by a ball delivered by the bowler.
If the delivered ball deflects off the bat, and bowls the batsman, then the informal term is known as played on, knocked on or dragged on.
A batsman cannot be out on a no ball, wide or dead ball, though he can be stumped if it is a wide.
A batsman is out bowled even if he could be given out by another method of dismissal instead.
