how long exactly is a cricket field?

Answer 1

About Field :

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

The pitch :
For more details on this topic, see Cricket pitch.
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 10 × 66 feet (3.05 × 20.12 m).

At each end of the pitch three upright wooden stakes, called the stumps, are hammered into the ground. Two wooden crosspieces, known as the bails, sit in grooves atop the stumps, linking each to its neighbour. Each set of three stumps and two bails is collectively known as a wicket. One end of the pitch is designated the batting end where the batsman stands and the other is designated the bowling end where the bowler runs in to bowl. The area of the field on the side of the line joining the wickets where the batsman holds his bat (the right-hand side for a right-handed batsman, the left for a left-hander) is known as the off side, the other as the leg side or on side.

Lines drawn or painted on the pitch are known as creases. Creases are used to adjudicate the dismissals of batsmen and to determine whether a delivery is fair.

Parts of the field :
For a one-innings match played over a set number of fair deliveries, there are two additional field markings. A painted oval is made by drawing a semicircle of 30 yards (27.4 m) radius from the centre of each wicket with respect to the breadth of the pitch and joining them with lines parallel, 30 yards (27.4 m) to the length of the pitch. This line, commonly known as the circle, divides the field into an infield and outfield. Two circles of radius 15 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.

Cricket Pitch :
A cricket pitch is the central strip of the playing area between the wickets. The pitch is 22 yards (20.12 m) long and 10 feet (3.05 m) wide. The surface is very flat and normally covered with extremely short grass though this grass is soon removed by wear at the ends of the pitch.

In amateur matches, artificial pitches are commonly used. These can be a slab of concrete, overlaid with a coir mat, or artificial turf. Artificial pitches are rare in professional cricket - only being used when exhibition matches are played in regions where cricket is not a common sport.

The pitch has very specific markings delineating the creases, as specified by the Laws of Cricket.

Answer 2

Cricket Field Size

Answer 3

The 'Pitch' as it is called where the ball is bowled is 22 yards long and 10 feet wide. The whole field where the game is played can have variable sizes but is bigger than a football field. Ideally from the center of the pitch it should be a circle of diameter 140 yards.

Answer 4

Cricket fields vary in size. There are no fixed dimensions, but its diameter usually varies between 450 feet (137 m) to 500 feet (150 m). The pitch (where the batsmen stand and are bowled to) is 22 yards (20.12 m) long and 10 feet (3.05 m) wide.

Answer 5

There isn't any fixed dimensions for a cricket field but its diameter usually varies between "450 feet (137 m) to 500 feet (150 m)."

Answer 6

The cricket field must be between 65 meters and 75 meters from the pitch to the boundary on all four sides. 75 meters is the prefered size by ICC

Answer 7

the cricket field must be 150metres horizontal and 150metres vertical.Distance between two stumps is 22 yards.

Answer 8

The length should be around 65yards +75 yards totalling 140yards exactly.

Answer 9

150 metre vertically and 150 horozontolly

Answer 10

from stumps to stups 22yds
