[General] It is a four/four.

[arjitsharma]

1. It is a four.
2. It is four.
I don't understand why Commentators say the both way when a cricket player hit a four.

 

[bhaisahab]

Why not? It's perfectly natural and understandable.

1. It is a four.
2. It is four.
I don't understand why commentators say [STRIKE]the[/STRIKE] it/this both ways when a cricket player hits a four.

I find the second somewhat unnatural. I would expect either "It is/It's a four" or maybe "He's hit it for four".

 

[bhaisahab]

I disagree, Ems. I find 'It's four (runs)' perfectly natural and quite usual.

 

[emsr2d2]

Aha! I was only thinking of it in terms of a boundary.
