When I setup my company and website, I was not aware of the name link to the honourable sport of Cricket. As you can see, the company name is formed from my surname, and the initials of business services we provide: Z Systems knowledge, Audit support and general services in IT technology.

In English - HOWZAT is a shortened form of "how's that?"
In terms of cricket- "Howzat" is what is now commonly 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 scream it at the top of their lungs so it sounds like Howzat.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy has the following to say on the subject of Cricket.
As legend has it, the Wikkit Gate was the symbol of happiness of the galaxy before the Krikkit wars
It has been said that on Earth alone in our galaxy is Krikkit (or cricket) treated as a fit subject for a game, and that for this reason the Earth has been shunned; this only applies to our Galaxy, and more specifically to our dimension. In some higher dimensions, they feel they can more or less please themselves, and have been playing a peculiar game called Brockian Ultra-Cricket for whatever their transdimenional equivalent of billions of years is.
