Laws of Cricket 1980 Code - Law 30

Law 30 - Bowled

1. Out Bowled

The Striker shall be out Bowled if:

a. His wicket is bowled down, even if the ball first touches his bat or person.

b. He breaks his wicket by hitting or kicking the ball on to it before the completion of a stroke, or as a result of attempting to guard his wicket. See Law 34.1 (Out - Hit the Ball Twice).

Note

1. Out Bowled - Not LBW

The striker is out bowled if the ball is deflected on to his wicket even though a decision against him would be justified under Law 36 (LBW).
