  Boundary (cricket) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The scoring of a four or six is a significant event, often achieved by a display of skill by the batsman, and is usually greeted by a round of applause from the spectators.
Bowlers, for their part, sometimes encourage batsmen to attempt to hit fours and sixes by bowling deliveries slightly wider of the off stump than would normally be considered a good line, because a batsman who is batting aggressively and trying to hit fours is more likely to make a mistake and get out.
The One-day International record for most sixes hit in an innings is held by Sanath Jayasuriya who hit 11 sixes against Pakistan in Singapore in the 1994-95 season.

No less important to cricket’s future was North’s ten-year career from 1891 as secretary to Premier Forrest, who granted an extra five acres to the WACA in 1897.
