Arre, LBW! It's when the ball hits the batsman's leg and the umpire thinks it would have hit the stumps. He must check three things: was the ball pitching in line, was the batter playing a shot, and would it have hit the wicket? I'm learning all this from a book for my exam, but I tell you, the village uncle who umpires our matches never follows half these rules—he just shouts "OUT!" if it makes a loud thud on the pad!
