cricket field

Wicket's surrounding turf

A cricket field is the oval or circular grass area where cricket is played, typically 450-500 feet in diameter.

The rectangular pitch at the center hosts the bowler and batsmen; the surrounding outfield is where fielders position themselves.

Unlike most sports grounds, cricket fields have no fixed dimensions—each ground has unique boundaries and characteristics.
