The recent death of Bobby Thomson, the guy that hit the 9th innings homer that won the Pennant for the NY Giants in 1951, brought out a surprising fact in the obituaries.

1. Does a Test wicketkeeper send a signal to the bowler, from behind the stumps, about what kind of ball to bowl to the batsman?
2. If so, are these signals decoded by the other side and relayed to the batsman?
3. If the answer is yes, what’s the popular technique?
