Provenance

Dimensions for Basin Reserve are taken from published authority — typically the ground's ICC inspection record, broadcast graphics, or its host association's own measurements. Where broadcast and fence figures diverge, the figure shown is the typical play‑on rope position, averaged across both ends. Figures describe the boundary in play — the rope where one was set when the ground was measured, and the perimeter where no rope was in use. Ropes are positioned per fixture, so a figure can sit inside the ICC's 59.44 m minimum for internationals without being wrong: that minimum binds international fixtures, not domestic ones, and it is measured to the rope in use on the day.
