CRICKET GROUND STRUCTURE
A cricket ground or the field is a roughly elliptical field of flat grass, ranging in size from about 90 to 150 meters (100-160 yards) across, bounded by an obvious fence or other marker. There is no fixed size or shape for the field, although large deviations from a low-eccentricity ellipse are discouraged. In the centre of the field, and usually aligned along the long axis of the ellipse, is the pitch, a carefully prepared rectangle of closely mown and rolled grass over hard packed earth.
EXAMPLE
ü In a 60 yard ground we have in circle =30yards and out field =30yards
ü In a 90 yard ground we have in circle =30yards and out field =60 yards
PITCH
Pitch is always area of 22 yards {20.12m} in length and 10 feet in width.
BATTING CREASE
The batting crease is marked 1.22m in front of the stumps at either end, with the stumps set along the bowling crease.
RETURN CREASE
The return creases are marked at the right angles to batting and bowling creases and are measured 1.32m either side of the middle stumps.
The two sets of the wickets at the opposite sides of the pitch stands 71.1 cm high and three stumps measure 22.86 cm wide in total.
