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.

Well, the distance between the stumps is 22 yards. In ODIs, the Inner Circle for field restrictions are two 30-yards semi-circles from each stump side, and joined by a straight line to fill up the oval. The boundary line (or the outer circle) should be approximately 75 yards, but it varies from venue to venue. Some venues like Auckland and Singapore have short grounds, and some like Melbourne and Sydney have huge grounds. Hence, a six in Auckland could send a batsman back to the pavilion in Melbourne (with the same shot). Moreover, the shape also varies. Some are round, some are oval straight, some are oval sideways, and some are polygonal.
