Cricket is a sport based on accuracy and even slightest of measurements can make a great contribution in the play of the game. Everything is by the book when it comes to the distance between wickets as well as the positioning of fielders. At the centre of these rules, the official in a game of cricket is 22 yards (20.12 meters) between the two groups of stumps. This is a universal measurement that is applied at all levels in the game, both amateur games and the international tournaments. It is the consistency of this length that provides fairness and proportions between bat and ball. This standard distance is used by the players to train and avoid variations in the expectations of performance. It can be a quick bowler who is running in, or a batter who is about to face a delivery, but this constant length is an inseparable element of the game.
