What is hit wicket ??

LahoriMunda · September 18, 2003, 4:16pm

^^ The batsman get so scared of the ball or the bowler that he himself throw the wicket or bails down to get away from the playing field.

Sohaib · September 18, 2003, 4:19pm

^^ My doubts are increasing, its not possible without any willingness from the person!

When instead of the ball hitting the wicket, either the bat or some part of the body of the batsmen, hits the wicket and dislodges the bails.

But i like the discription from LM

mayb the batsmen were having fainting fits by just lookig at shoib!

I don't know, Shoaib wasn't really threatning the batsman, as he was going 5 an over the last time I checked the scorecard.
This is not related to the topic, but will Shoaib be available for the 5th one dayer as said earlier.
This is too much cricket for Shoaib, he has been continiously playing cricket since Bank Alfallah Cup in May, and he will be burned during the South African series.

What's so strange about hit wicket???

yaasir · September 19, 2003, 2:32am

seems like the batsmen got really scared of Shoaib.

Sharaabi · September 19, 2003, 3:21am

whats Shoiab doin in England...i thought he was supposed to be in Pakistan for the 3rd OD

LahoriMunda · September 19, 2003, 11:33am

He was excsued for the whole Bangladesh series initially, but after Sami's injury he was allowed by Durham to play the first two tests. He might be back for the last ODI but I doubt it.
