cricket grounds

Cricket grounds are specialized outdoor fields designed for playing cricket, typically oval-shaped and featuring a flat, grassy pitch at the center. The main playing area, called the pitch, measures about 22 yards long and 10 feet wide, where the bowler delivers the ball and the batsman aims to score runs. Surrounding the pitch is a larger outfield, which can vary in size. The boundary, often marked by a rope or painted line, defines the outer edge. Grounds may have pavilions, seating, and facilities for players and spectators. Proper maintenance ensures a smooth, even surface essential for fair play.
