Cricket playing ground The straight boundary at both ends of the pitch is a minimum of 64m. Distances are measured from the centre of the pitch. Boundaries are not to exceed 82.29m from the centre of the pitch.
As per ICC rules, all boundaries in a cricket ground must be marked by a rope or similar object. The boundary should be at least 59 m from the centre of the field in men's international cricket – law 19.1. 3. The rope should be a minimum distance of 2.74 metres from the ground's perimeter fencing or advertising signs.
As per law 6.1 of the MCC laws of cricket the regulation length of a cricket wicket is a rectangular area of the ground 22 yards/20.12m/66ft in length and 3.33 yards/3.05m/10ft in width.
7.2 The bowling crease The bowling crease, which is the back edge of the crease marking, is the line that marks the end of the pitch, as in Law 6.1 (Area of pitch). It shall be 8 ft 8 in/2.64 m in length.
Field size 19.1.3 The aim shall be to maximise the size of the playing area at each venue. With respect to the size of the boundaries, no boundary shall be longer than 90 yards (82 metres), and no boundary should be shorter than 65 yards (59 metres) from the centre of the pitch to be used.
1. The basic method is a white line using a line marker, boundary flags can be added at intervals. 2. The preferred method is a rope which makes the ball jump when contact is made; a useful indication of a (four) boundary.
