Question

what are the curious characteristics of cricket?

Answer 1

The curious characteristic of cricket is that the length of the pitch is specified – 22 yards – but the size or shape of the ground is not.
Most other team sports, such as hockey and football lay down the dimensions of the playing area: cricket does not.
Grounds can be oval like the Adelaide Oval or nearly circular, like Chepauk in Chennai. A six at the Melbourne Cricket Ground needs to clear much more ground than a lofted shot for the same reward at Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi.

Answer 2

batting and bowling makes me play cricket as those are my most favourie parts of the sport.the length of the pitch is certainly the same always i.e. 22 yards.
