Infield

I have looked up the rules on marking the infield, but the description in the article (apart from being obscure by itself) does not match the image. In the image an oval is formed in this way: behind each set of stumps a semi-circle of radius 30m centred on middle stump is drawn. The ends of each semi-circle are then joined with straight lines drawn parallel to the length of the wicket. Or is it different? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jagdfeld (talk • contribs) 16:38, 28 March 2008 (UTC) I have just looked up the law and that is how it is worded. Does it make sense?

Fixed shape

American Baseball fields, while having an infield of fixed dimensions (a square, 60-90 feet on a side) and possibly a specified range of distances to the outfield fence, depending on the league, there is no specified "shape" for the outfield. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Barndoorsentry (talk • contribs) 17:09, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

bowling position

Do bowling and wicket keeping position change after each over? En sakararyal (talk) 08:57, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. See Over (cricket). Argovian (talk) 14:20, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Separate page for Cricket ground

Currently the Cricket ground page re-directs to this page, but I don't think they're quite the same: Wiktionary defines Cricket ground as the arena - the field plus associated buildings, and defines Ground (meaning #17) as either just the grass, or the entire arena. There must be hundreds of pages which refer to cricket ground, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lists_of_cricket_grounds, so it seems very strange there's no page for ground.

Ground also has a second meaning in cricket, which is the area behind the popping crease, and there's a whole Law devoted to this (https://www.lords.org/mcc/laws/batsman-out-of-his-her-ground), though there is some overlap between this meaning of ground and the page Crease (cricket).

Therefore I've been bold and started a Ground (cricket) page. Please see if you agree this is justified. Thanks. Mmitchell10 (talk) 20:00, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
