Appeal the act of a bowler or fielder shouting at the umpire to ask if his last ball took the batsman's wicket. An anchor plays defensively, and is often the top scorer in the innings.

If the batsman is stumped, it means the wicket-keeper collects the cricket ball and knocks over the wicket before the batter is in the batting crease. If the batsman is run out, they fall short of the batting crease and a player from the fielding team knocks over the wicket while the batter is running between the wickets.

If they successfully reach the other end of the pitch without the fielding team striking them out, 1 run is added to the total score. There is a batsman on each end of the pitch, and they will run from their end of the pitch to the other end. Once the batsman hits the ball, especially to an empty or remote part of the field, they may wish to run between the wickets to score runs.
