		A wicket consists of three stumps, upright wooden poles that are hammered into the ground, topped with two wooden crosspieces, known as the bails.
		The wicket is put down if a bail is dislodged from the top of the stumps or a stump is struck out of the ground either with the ball, or by a fielder with the ball in his hand.
		Hit wicket — When the batsman accidentally knocks the stumps with either the body or the bat, causing one or both of the bails to be dislodged, either in playing a shot or in taking off for the first run.

		But Davies trod on his wicket attempting to pull a short ball, Mitchell was lbw to Mongia, Ray Price was run out for a five-ball duck, and despite double-figure scores from Chaminda Vaas and Matt Mason Worcestershire fell thirteen short of their target.
		He conceded 12 runs, taking two wickets and bowling three maidens in the process, and was a major factor as Scotland imploded to 78 for 6.
		Australia were having difficulty choosing between an out-of-form Jason Gillespie (8 wickets at a bowling average of 50.37 in the ODIs) and an almost equally out-of-form Michael Kasprowicz (7 wickets at 34.29), and thus this match with Leicestershire was a fight between the two to keep the place in the Test team.

		A player from the opposing team (the batsman) attempts to defend the wicket from the ball with a wooden cricket bat, traditionally made of willow.
		If the ball strikes a wicket while the nearest batsman is still running, the batsman is out, or "dismissed." Batsmen can also be out by other means, such as failing to defend the bowled ball from hitting the wicket, or hitting a catch to a fielder.
		This generally requires the keeper to be standing within arm´s length of the wicket, which is done mainly to spin bowling.

		It was only when I threatened to take the whole team for a mass check up at specsavers did we begin to perform better managing to pick up a quick batch of run outs and catches which reduced Shires scoring to just 14 runs from the last 6 overs.
		Despite taking few wickets, we managed to keep their first thee pairs down to a respectable 90-odd, but could not prevent the last pair adding about 60.

		When Shane dismissed Jacques Kallis for his 300th Test wicket at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1997, I was asked how many wickets he would finish up with at the end of his career.

		Whether he reaches 700 wickets or not, he will be regarded as the best spin bowler, if not the greatest cricketer, to have ever played the game.
