As a batsman, it's your duty to protect these three bits of wood stuck in the pitch.

But if a bowler manages to get a ball through and knock off the bails, the two bits of wood resting at the top of the stumps, then the batsman is out "bowled".

A batsman is still out if they've accidentally deflected the ball onto the stumps off their bat or pad.

But you can't be bowled off a no-ball.
