In cricket, correct measurement is always necessary because there should be fairness in all the matches and consistency in measurements. Groundsmen and officials are very careful in making of the pitch as per the official guidelines. During this preparation operation, the cricket pitch length is very carefully calculated so that the distance between the centre of stumps in one set and that of the other is 22 yards. Precision is obtained with the help of specialized measuring tools and marking techniques. Any little mistake of measurements can also change the gameplay and this is particularly true in the case of bowlers who depend on the consistency in distances. This detailing will make sure that all matches are conducted in the same conditions, in spite of the location. Correct marking of pitch is thus an important aspect of match preparation and it also contributes to ensuring the integrity of the sport at any level.
