  1. The conditions for a batsman to be given out LBW are:

    The ball must be legal : The ball must not be a no ball.

    The ball must not pitch on the leg side: The ball must either (a) pitch in line between wicket and wicket or on the off side of the wicket, or (b) not pitch at all before reaching the batsman. Therefore, any ball pitching on the leg side of the wicket should not result in the loss of a wicket by LBW even if the batsman has left the ball . To determine the relevant 'pitching zone', an imaginary line is drawn parallel to the long axis of the pitch from the leg stump.

    The ball must miss the bat : If the first contact the batsman has of the ball is hitting it with his bat, he should not be out LBW.

    The ball must intercept a part of the batsman's person : If the ball hits any part of the body, it is a potential candidate for LBW (ie. it need not hit the leg). The one exception is a hand or gloved hand in contact with the bat, which is considered part of the bat. For example, Sachin Tendulkar was famously given out LBW when, ducking under an expected bouncer, the ball actually hit his shoulder (Australia v India, 1999-2000, Adelaide, The Indian Second Innings).

    The ball must hit in line : The ball must hit the batsman in the region directly between the two wickets. An important exception is that, if the impact is outside the off stump, the batsman can be out LBW if he does not make a genuine attempt to play the ball (that is, if he does not "play a stroke"). If the impact is between wicket and wicket, the playing of a stroke is irrelevant.

    The ball must have been going to hit the wicket : If the ball's trajectory suggests that it would have missed the wicket had the batsman not been present, then he should not be out LBW.


  2. The ball must 'pitch' in line with the stumps, this is the red line on T.V. Secondly, the ball must strike the batter on the pads inside the line of the stumps EVEN IF HE PLAYS A SHOT! The ball (if it hadn't hit the pads) would have gone to hit the stumps. If the batter does not offer a shot, the ball can pitch outside the line of the stumps. If the ball pitches outside leg stump, the batter cannot be given out regardless. Hope that helps.

  3. The LBW rule is designed to prevent a batsman simply using his body to prevent the ball from hitting the wicket (and so avoid being bowled out) rather than using his bat to do so.

    The conditions for a batsman to be given out LBW are:

    1. The ball must be legal,i.e, the ball must not be a no ball!

    2.The ball must not pitch on the leg side: The ball must either  pitch in line between wicket and wicket or on the off side of the wicket

    3. The ball must miss the bat

    4.The ball must intercept a part of the batsman's person

    5. The ball must hit in line : The ball must hit the batsman in the region directly between the two wickets.

    6. The ball must have been going to hit the wicket
