West Indies cricket team; balls hit out of ground?

1)West Indies is not a country. It''s a group of small countries which are actually islands in the Caribbean. But in cricket, West Indies represent as a single team including all the countries which come under West Indies.

These countries are :

1) Jamaica

2) Trinidad & Tobago

2) Barbados

3) St. Lucia

4) Dominica

5) Antigua & Barbuda

6) Grenada

7) Cayman Islands

8) Montserrat

9) St Vincent

10) St Kitts

11) St Christopher

12) Turks and Caicos Islands

Any cricketer from these countries can play for West Indies.

2) If a ball is caught out of the ground by a spectator or even by a player, it will be considered a 6.

West Indies was at times officially and unofficially recognised as a country up until the early 1960s, they can get their players from any of the following....

Barbados

Jamaica

Trinidad & Tobago

Leeward Islands

Windward Islands

Antigua & Barbuda

Guyana

Dominica

Grenada

St Lucia

St Vincent

St Kitts

And maybe a few other smaller islands and territories.

The West Indies is a group of Islands, so anyone that lives on those islands can play for the West Indies.

Once the ball is hit over the boundary on the full the batsman gets 6 runs scored, but it is out if an opponent player catches the ball on the full. Spectators actions have no bearing on the result at all.

there are 9 islands that make up what they call the west indies

A thought shared.
