This is a model for motion of a ball hit by a batsman to score a boundary. The batted ball hits the ground, bounces several times and then grazes the ground to reach the boundary line evading intercept by any fieldsman. With given initial velocity, time taken by the batted ball to cross the boundary line covering the distance between the batsman and the ball touching the boundary line is determined. Herein is also determined the minimum initial velocity of the batted ball and its corresponding direction to strike a “four” .Some numerical examples are also cited.
