How do I record a wicket in Stage 1?

In the scorebook:

• write X in the batter's box for that ball
• write W in the bowler's box
• update the number of outs box
• add the wicket to the bowler's wicket tally.

In Stage 1 you don't need to record how the batter got out, the fielder, or fall of wicket details.

The batter isn't sent off: they keep batting until they reach their ball limit, so keep counting their balls faced. Each wicket is worth 4 runs to the bowling team, added once the innings is complete, so keep an accurate count of outs.

Only bowled, caught, hit wicket and run out count. If the umpire doesn't give it out (stumpings and LBW are never out), it's not a wicket, even if the fielders appeal.
