1.   Caught 

2.  Leg Before Wicket ,  LBW

 Answer 


First we will fimd out what is a wide ball ???


As I saw from watching TV,  if the ball played goes beyond the bat of the  batsman, means it is impossible for batsman to play a shot, then it is a wide ball.


If the ball is going beyond the bat of the batsman.

Then it should not be a


BOWLED  OR . LBW  OR  CATCH  !!!


As batsman didn't touch the ball. 


So then it has to be the remaining one,


                      STUMPED OUT   !!!

Why cricketers chew gum while playing?

 I have observed many cricketers chew gum when playing.  Why do they do so ??


Just  day before yesterday,  Indian women's cricket team has won the ICC world cup !!!


But I am not sure whether women chew gum or not !!!


But men do.......     Because,


1.  Chewing gum stimulates the brain. It activates the receptors in mouth which in turn sends signal to brain that enhances brain activity and focus.



2.  Chewing gum produces saliva which helps to prevent dry mouth and keep it moist.



3.  Chewing gum can help players to keep calm under pressure.
