Description

The cricket field divisions

The cricket field consists of a large circular or oval-shaped en:grassy ground. There are no fixed dimensions for the field but its radius usually varies between 450 feet (137 m) and 500 feet (150 m). In most stadiums, a en:rope demarcates the perimeter of the field and is known as the boundary.

The most of the action takes place in the centre of this ground, on a rectangular clay strip usually with short grass called the pitch. The pitch measures 12 feet × 74 feet (3.65 m × 22.26 m).

A painted oval is made by drawing a semicircle of 30 yards (27 m) radius from the centre of each wicket and joining them with straight lines parallel to the pitch. This line, commonly known as the circle, divides the field into an infield and outfield. Two circles of radius 15 en:yards (13.7 m), centred on each wicket and often marked by dots, define the close-infield. The infield, outfield, and the close-infield are used to enforce fielding restrictions.
