Method
Dimensions for Manuka Oval were measured from current satellite imagery. The centre of the pitch square was located by hand; four points were placed on the boundary rope or perimeter fence at straight on, straight off, square leg and square off. Distances were calculated geodesically and averaged across opposing pairs. Accuracy is estimated at ±2 m, sensitive to rope visibility and pitch placement at the moment the image was captured. 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.
