Bowled
Term in cricket / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In cricket, the term bowled has several meanings. First, it is the act of propelling the ball towards the wicket defended by a batter.[1][2]

Second, it is a method of dismissing a batter, by hitting the wicket with a ball delivered by the bowler. (The term "bowled out" is sometimes used instead.)
Third, it is used in scoring to indicate which bowler is credited with dismissing a batter, when the batter is dismissed by being bowled, leg before wicket (LBW), caught, stumped, or hit wicket.
