A boundary is also the scoring of four or six runs from a single delivery by the ball reaching the boundary of the field.
Four runs can also be scored by hitting the ball into the outfield and running between the wickets four times, although this is rare as there is usually not enough time to do so before a fielder returns the ball.

 The Magnus Effect
Boundary layer separation is delayed on the side of the spinning object that is moving in the same direction as the free stream flow, while the separation occurs prematurely on the side moving against the free stream flow.
This phenomenon is influenced by the conditions in the thin layer next to the body, known as the boundary layer, and there may arise certain anomalies in the force if the spin of the body introduces anomalies in the layer, such as making the flow turbulent on one side and not the other.
In a case like this, if transition occurs in the boundary layer upstream of the seam, then the effect of the seam will be to act as a boundary-layer "fence" that thickens the boundary layer even further.

For cricket lovers one of the beautiful things about the book is that James loves cricket, he appreciates it as an art form.
The best blurb endorsing Beyond a Boundary is "To say `the best cricket book ever written' is piffingly inadequate praise." It succinctly conveys this is a great book, is about cricket, is about other things as well, and is written in language you don't use that often.
The rise of cricket and sport in Britain was the avant-garde of a cultural shift that came to the US just a shade later.

 Observer | Variety the key as cricket goesbeyond boundary
There are three crucial areas the ECB are targeting to ensure that cricket is not subsumed by football mania: grass roots development, the accessibility of the sport, and its profile.
Eleven per cent of all broadcast income is pumped into grass-roots cricket - an admirable statistic in contrast to the modest six per cent of media revenue used by the RFU and the FA for the same purpose.
He is one of eight England cricketers, male and female, featured in an ECB media pack due to be issued this month to a wide array of non-sporting media - magazines in particular.

The confession by England's cricketers that they know little about the situation in Zimbabwe and that politics has nothing to do with sport is deeply embarrassing.
It also involves carrying the gospel of cricket to every corner of the planet, even if that means giving comfort Ð and a rare dose of favourable publicity Ð to dictatorships.

 Beyond a Boundary (C.L.R. James) - book review
James' subject is cricket and its role in his own life and in the history of the West Indies and England.
He begins with the place of cricket in his family history, in his childhood and schooling in Trinidad, and in the social stratification of West Indian society.
On the other hand, cricket fans who aren't interested in the history of the game may find Beyond a Boundary bewildering — it is a far cry from the latest ghost-written celebrity moneyspinner.

 Run (cricket)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The rules concerning the scoring of runs are mostly contained in Law 18 of the Laws of cricket.

 Sports Jamaica :: FROM THE BOUNDARY - Windies cricket needs management :: Commentary
One of the reasons for the poor performances is the poor standard of first-class cricket in the region.
One of the reasons for that is club cricket is poor and many players travel to England and the United States where they are paid to play.
That, however, cannot be even considered until West Indies cricket becomes truly professional and players are paid a salary and under contract to a professional league in the region.

 Sports Jamaica :: FROM THE BOUNDARY - For cricket's sake, let's try again :: Cricket
CRICKET MATCHES in Jamaica often times get off to a late start; there are two basic reasons for that and a few years ago the Jamaica Cricket Association (JCA) decided to put a stop to it.
According to the rules governing the limited-overs competition, the only penalty for the team arriving late or for the team failing to have its pitch and or ground ready for play is one run for every two minutes lost.
In the interest of the game and the competition, the penalty for a late start due to the pitch and or the ground should not be applied when the home team is not guilty of tardiness - when, for example, rain, plenty of rain, makes it impossible to get things done.

Whereas in the past it was assumed that the implicit Spirit of the Game was understood and accepted by all those involved, now MCC feels it right to put into words some clear guidelines, which will help to maintain the unique character and enjoyment of the game.
The other aims have been to dispense with the Notes, to incorporate all the points into the Laws and to remove, where possible, any ambiguities, so that captains, players and umpires can continue to enjoy the game at whatever level they may be playing.
The players, umpires and scorers in a game of cricket may be of either gender and the Laws apply equally to both.
