caption_attribution_description: English: It's good to be an all-rounder. In this image, New South Wales Breakers all-rounder Nicola Carey is bowled for a golden duck by ACT Meteors all-rounder Marizanne Kapp, during a WNCL top of the table clash at Murdoch University Sports Oval in Perth. However, Carey later redeemed herself by taking 3-28 during the Meteors' innings. Partly for that reason, the Breakers comfortably won the match.
context_page_description: In cricket, the term bowled has several meanings. First, is the act of propelling the ball towards the wicket defended by a batsman.
  Second, it is a method of dismissing a batsman, by hitting the wicket with a ball delivered by the bowler.
  Third, it is used in scoring to indicate which bowler is credited with dismissing a batsman, when the batsman is dismissed by being bowled, leg before wicket, caught, stumped, or hit wicket.
context_section_description: This method of dismissal is covered by Law 32 of the Laws of Cricket.
  A batter is Bowled if his or her wicket is put down by a ball delivered by the bowler. It is irrelevant whether the ball has touched the bat, glove, or any part of the batsman before going on to put down the wicket, though it may not touch another player or an umpire before doing so. Such rules mean that bowled is the most obvious of dismissals: almost never requiring an appeal to the umpire; a bowled batsman will usually acknowledge the dismissal voluntarily.
  If the delivered ball deflects off the bat, and bowls the batter, then the informal term is known as played on, knocked on or dragged on. If the wicket is put down without the batter making any contact with the ball, then it is known as clean bowled, with variations of this being bowled through the gate, where the ball travels between the bat and pad, or bowled around the legs, where the ball goes behind (to the legside of) the batsman and hits the stumps.
  A batter cannot be Bowled from a no-ball, wide or dead ball.
  A batter is out bowled even if he/she could be given out by another method of dismissal instead. For example, if a batsman edges the ball onto the stumps (such that the bails are removed) and the ball is then caught by a fielder, the batter would be given out bowled instead of caught.
  Bowled is the second most common method of dismissal after caught, accounting for 21.4% of all Test match dismissals between 1877 and 2012. 
  The bowler is credited with the wicket if the batter is Bowled. 
  Muttiah Muralitharan holds the record for dismissing most batsman Bowled in Test matches, with 167.
