"Howzat!" is a cry of triumph when a wicket falls at cricket. "Howzat?" or "Howizee?" is the question a bowler asks/screams at the umpire if he thinks he has taken a wicket. This is known as "enquiring of the umpire" or "asking the question". For maximum spectator enjoyment, the bowler must by supported in an impassioned scream by baying team mates and the umpire must stand impassive and give the barest shake of the head.
