Cricket grounds in Australia
The 11 grounds listed in Australia average 76.1 m straight and 74.4 m square, enclosing a mean playing area of 17,798 m² — 28% above the global mean of 13,957 m².
The largest is MCG in Melbourne (83.4 × 86.2 m); the smallest is Kardinia Park in Geelong (68 × 66 m).
Six-hitting difficulty across these grounds averages 69/100 against a global 40, so sixes are harder to clear here than at the average ground on the site.

Two kinds of figure in this table. 5 of these 11 grounds were measured here from satellite imagery; the other 6 are figures published by the ground or its governing body.
The two are not measured to quite the same edge of the field, so a satellite-measured ground and a published one can look closer in size than they really are. Comparing grounds of the same kind is sound. Comparing across the two is not, until every ground has been re-measured on one basis — work that is under way.
