Want to know something about the rules of cricket?

Question

Although I've never seen such a thing happening, I want to know this.
Suppose a batsman strikes the ball over the boundary ropes.
Now a fielder goes out and stands outside the boundary and when the ball seems to fall down, he jumps up and throws the ball in the playing area such that he is not in contact with the ground. Then he goes within the boundary ropes and throws the ball back to the wicket-keeper or the bowler.
Would this be considered as a sixer or will the batsmen get runs for only what they run.

Answer 1

Good question!The batsman will get runs for only what they run.Because by the time he had the ball in his hands his body was not in contact with the ground.Hence The batsman wont get a six.

On the other hand just imagine that the fielder was outside the ropes and he catches the ball after jumping(while he has no contact with the ground) and throws in upward directon to the grounds premises while he is in air and then runs to the ground to catch the ball.In this situation the batsman will be considered as out.


Hope this helps you.

Answer 2

If the fielder is outside the boundary rope when he makes contact with the ball, it will be considered as sixer.

Answer 3

This would be a six as he has to have been in the field of play before he touched to ball. If he is on the boundary rope, without touching it, and in the field of play, he then can toss it in the air and retrieve it (in the field of play). In this instance, the batsman would be given out "caught".

Answer 4

Runs...because all happening in the Air.....

Answer 5

it would be score

Answer 6
