Best Answer

The perimeter of the cricket pitch is known as the boundary, if a batsmen hits the ball over this perimeter (usually represented by a line or a rope) they have hit a boundary. If the ball travels over this line without hitting the floor it is a 6 and if it makes contact with the floor before hitting the line it is a 4. Both of these are known as boundarys.

The boundary is the rope or other marking that is the outline (and part of) the field of play. A boundary is a shot that scores by passing over the boundary rope/line/marking - this includes the ball only touching it - and scores either six (6) runs for clearing it on the full, or four (4) runs for reaching it with one or more bounces.

The boundary - is simply the edge of the playing field. If a ball reaches the boundary (or goes even further) it scores six runs.
