Howzat?

It's bad enough trying to find one that stays in one place long enough to get a shot without also
having to worry about whether there is a blade of grass in the shot!!!

Howzat! (Also Howzthat with ! or ?) is the cry used by a bowler or fielder in CRICKET to
appeal to the umpire as to whether give a batsmen out or not. Howzat means "How is that?" asking
whether the batsman ought to be out. It is not used for when clear catches (where there is no
doubt about the validity of the catch or whether the batsman hit the ball) are taken or for
bowled decisions, but for when the dismissal is less obvious (examples include LBW, stumped
and run out decisions).

Your story couldn't strike home more! Yesterday I was walking through a field and they scattered every few steps but never could I see one stationary to shoot. YOU pulled it off. V

I liked the shot and the caption, even without the long explanation..... You caught him so sharp, just wish we could see the EXIF, we all might learn a lot from you Dave!

" It is not used for when clear catches (where there is no

So no need to use it! This is a very clear winner!
