A cricket oval in Wallendbeen, New South Wales, with a white picket fence, traditionally used as the boundary. In cricket, the boundary is the perimeter of a playing field.It is also the term given to a scoring shot where the ball is hit to, or beyond, that perimeter, which generally earns four or six runs for the batting team.
