The pitch is fixed at twenty-two yards everywhere. The boundary is not — the ICC only sets a floor of 65 yards and a ceiling of 90, and every ground picks its own shape in between. That gap is the difference between a caught-at-the-rope and a six.
This is a working reference for that gap: straight and square boundaries, playing area, and a six-difficulty score for 120 grounds. Pick the venue you need, read the numbers, set your side.
