"Howzat" is what is now commenly used to "appeal" in cricket. A fielder will appeal if they think the batsman is out. The fielder has to ask the Umpire (Referee) "How is that?" before the Umpire will give a decision. However most players know scream it at the top of their lungs so it sounds like Howzat
