In cricket, when you hit a shot up along the field boudry, it's called a "six"

[Bucky]

But as long as it's in the field, the ball is in play. A boundary is the scoring of four or six runs from a single delivery with the ball reaching the boundary of the field. Occasionally there is an erroneous use of the term boundary as a synonym for a "four". For example, sometimes commentators say such as "There were seven boundaries and three sixes in the innings." The correct terminology would be "There were ten boundaries in the innings of which seven were fours and three were sixes". At this point, you score a six.

Wait, does the Lounge allow six threads?

1. you're wrong. the ball has to be out of the boundary for it to be a 6

if it hits the boundary its a 4
