Method
Dimensions for Great Barrier Reef Arena were measured from satellite imagery: the pitch centre placed by hand, then four boundary points — straight on, straight off, square leg, square off — measured geodesically and averaged across opposing pairs. Accuracy ±2 m. Figures describe the boundary in play — the rope where one was set, the perimeter where none was. Ropes move per fixture, so a figure under the ICC's 59.44 m minimum is not an error: clause 19.1.4 exempts any ground already approved for international cricket that cannot conform.
