LBW - Leg Before Wicket, is a rule in cricket where it restricts batsmen to disallow to use pads and prevent the ball hitting stumps. Actually LBW is one of the ways a batsman can get OUT. The basic rules are like this
1. The ball is going to hit the stumps, but it was prevented by batsman using his pads or his body.
2. The ball did not pitch outside the LEG stump,
3. The ball hits the batsman in LINE, (a batsman can be declared LBW even if the ball hits outside the line of off stump but in this case he is not trying to play a shot, that means he is trying to leave the ball alone)
So, if the above rules are true, then the bowler can appeal for the leg before and Umpire can declare him OUT.

Sometimes, if the ball pitches outside the off stump some umpires doesn't give the batsman OUT even if the ball is hitting in line of stumps, the thing to note here is that, umpire thinks that the angle of the ball might make it miss the stumps.
Technology: The recent hawk eye technology has been a good measure to see weather leg before decisions are correct or not, but this was just restricted for television commentators to analyse, and it was good thing not to use this technology for LBW decisions, as it would almost make the umpires standing in the middle pointless.
There is an example where an umpire can declare LBW when the ball is hitting something other than the batsmans PAD
