    Field and pitch of Cricket

    Cricket Field
    A circular cricket field is considered as the perfect field but, in most of case, even in
    International matches cricket pitch is slightly oval. Cricket field is grassy ground with the cricket
    pitch nearly in the center. International Cricket Council (I.C.C) hasn't the fixed dimension of
    cricket field how big a cricket ground should be but, it has indicated the minimum range of a
    ground. A cricket ground should be minimum of diameter 137.16 meters(nearly minimum 68.5
    from pitch to boundary) on the square of the pitch where as the shortest boundary should be
    65 yards (nearly 59.50 meters) and longest boundary should be 90 yards(82.29 meters) from
    center of cricket pitch to the boundary which obviously made a cricket ground a elliptical in
    shape in most cases.
    Few decades back, the boundary in cricket the ground was determined by the wall. Now, a days
    thick rope is used as the boundary and the cricket field is all the area inside the boundary.
    There should be minimum of 3 yards gap between the boundary and the advertising boards
    now a days.
    Cricket Pitch
    Cricket Pitch is the rectangular and distinct part of cricket field located nearly in the middle of
    cricket ground. Cricket pitch is the place where the batting and bowling of cricket, takes place.
    Unlike cricket field, the cricket pitch should be exact. A cricket pitch should be is well
    maintained and highly protected of cricket field as it is the most important part. A cricket pitch
    is hard to maintain, a cricket pitch is only used in game and never used in the practice session.
    For a practice session, a virtual cricket pitch is used.
    Dimensions Of Cricket Pitch
    Cricket Pitch is rectangular in shape. The length of cricket pitch (distance between two stumps)
    is 2012cm (22 yards) and breadth is 10 ft (3.05m). Two white lines are made between the two
    stumps a the distance of 122cm (1.22m) from each stump known as crease. A crease is used to
    determine the batsmen dismissal (Run Out or Stumping) and to check whether a balled delivery
    is no ball or not. There are two white lines made at the both sides of the wicket in both stumps
    to check whether a delivery is wide or not. Since, the distance of wide lines are different in ODI
    cricket and Test cricket, there are two lines created in on side of wicket, altogether 8 lines for
    two stumps. Its little unlikely to explain and understand the cricket pitch from the words. This
    photo will explain you the dimensions of a cricket pitch as indicated by ICC rules.
