The Cricket Field: An Introduction
A cricket field is a large, grassy oval where the sport of cricket is played. Unlike many other sports, there is no standard fixed size for a cricket field,
but its diameter usually ranges from 137 to 150 meters (450 to 490 feet). The field has a number of distinct areas, each with its own specific purpose and name.
The main components of a cricket field are:
1. The Pitch
This is the most critical part of the field. It is a rectangular area in the center, measuring 22 yards (20.12 meters) long and 10 feet (3.05 meters) wide.
· The Wickets: At each end of the pitch, there are three vertical stumps with two small bails on top.
This assembly is called a wicket. The bowler aims to hit the batter’s wicket, and the batters must protect it.
· The Creases: White lines are painted on the pitch to mark the bowler’s crease (where the bowler must deliver the ball),
the popping crease (which the batter must ground their bat in to be safe), and the return crease.
2. The Outfield
This is the vast grassy area that surrounds the pitch. Fielders patrol the outfield to stop the ball after the batter has hit it and to prevent the batters from scoring runs.
3. The field and the Circle
· The Infield: This is the central part of the field, closer to the pitch. Fielders placed here are in positions to stop quick singles.
· The 30-Yard Circle: A visible white circle is often marked 30 yards (27.4 meters) from the pitch.
This circle is particularly important in limited-overs cricket (like ODIs and T20s), as it dictates fielding restrictions during the initial overs of an innings.
| Component | Description | Standard Dimension | Range Remarks |
| Overall Ground | Oval grass field | Boundary Radius: 55m – 70m (Int’l) | Variable size, can be reduced to ~45m for non-international matches； |
| Pitch | Central clay/grass strip | 20.12m long × 3.05m wide | Fixed size, core area of play |
| Wicket | Wooden structure at both ends | Height: 71.1cm, Width: 22.86cm | Fixed size |
| Popping Crease | Line from the wicket center | 1.22m | Fixed size |
| Infield | Area surrounding the pitch | Radius ~ 27.4m (30 yards) | Shorter grass, faster ball speed |
| Outfield | Area from infield to boundary line | Variable range | Longer grass, slower ball speed |
| The pitch of a cricket ground is usually oriented north-south to avoid direct sunlight shining into the batsman’s eyes | |||
