Where it sits
Marrara Stadium stands in Darwin, Australia. Imagery: Esri World Imagery. Pin placed at the pitch centre, -12.3991°, 130.8873°. The outline shows the listed 78 × 67 m drawn to scale, averaged across both ends. It is not traced from this image: boundaries are set per fixture and the imagery was captured on an unrelated date. These figures were measured to the boundary in play. Open in Google Earth →
Provenance
Dimensions for Marrara Stadium are published figures rather than our own satellite measurement. Provenance varies by ground and this dataset does not yet record it figure by figure: some trace to a host association's own records or to a broadcast boundary graphic, others to widely republished figures whose original source we have not been able to verify. 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 without being wrong: that minimum is measured to the rope in use on the day, it binds international fixtures rather than domestic ones, and clause 19.1.4 of the playing conditions exempts any ground already approved for international cricket that cannot conform to it. The evidence behind these figures is set out in section VI below.
