If the ball is hit over the boundary on the full, 6 runs are awarded to the batsman.
To score six runs, a batsmen must hit the ball over the boundary rope without it coming into contact with the ground. However, it is possible to score six runs if you hit the ball, run for two, and then the ball is overthrown to the boundary for four more runs. It is also possible to score a six by running three, then the ball being overthrown and then running three more or running six runs after hitting the ball
To hit a six, the batsman must hit the cricket ball over the boundry rope without the ball touching the ground.
By hitting the ball over the boundary without the ball touching the ground before hand. If the ball touches the ground before the boundary but goes over it, it scores four.
No, your are only allowed to hit the ball three times, unless the first was a touch at the block.
only 2 runs because in free hit a batsman facing the ball can't be caught out but he can run out in free hit ball. So if players have completed 2 runs before the ball was caught then only 2 runs they will get.
Its commonly called the "boundary rope" (even if the actual material is not made of rope!)
Chris Gayle. He hit 30 from 5 balls in an over. The other batsman (Saurabh Tiwary) scored 1 of the first ball of the over. Overall = 31 runs.
that is impossible because if you hit an infield fly then your out and the ball is in the in field not over the wall.
There are 2 goals in cricket one for a batting side and one for a Bowling side. The goal for the batting side is to score as much runs until your team has been bowled out or you run out of overs. To score a run you hit the ball and run to the other side of the wicket or hit it past the boundary rope.If you hit the ball over the boundry without it boucing then you get 6 runs for it. If it bounces 1 or more times then goes over the rope then you get 4 runs for it.
Believe it or not, but Ruth never hit four home runs in a game.
When a batsman hits sixer on a no-ball its 7 runs per ball. Although no-ball is not counted in over but it is said that 7 runs are scored on 1 ball. *** Threre's an example of a batsman getting 7 runs off 1 legal ball,when in Australia(2006),Australia and England were playing in an ashes test,flintoff bowled to Michael clarke and he hit down to mid on,which hoggard went to chase down,the batsman took 3 runs in meanwhile.hoggard chased the ball and threw to pieterson,then pieterson,unnecessirilly,threw the ball to the wicketkeeper who completely missed that one and the ball went on to b a four,so it was 7 runs as a whole to Clarke off 1 legal ball. Also, recently Andrew Symonds scored 8 on one delivery; the ball was stopped short of the boundary while they ran four, then was overthrown for the others.
