cricket pitches

Wicket-to-wicket strips

Cricket pitches are the rectangular strips of prepared ground at the center of a cricket field where bowling and batting take place.

The pitch is typically hard-packed clay covered with short grass, and its condition—dry, damp, cracked, grassy—significantly affects how the ball behaves, making pitch assessment a tactical element of the game.
