	Cricket
		A cricket ground, or field, is larger than a baseball field and varies from an area of well-kept grass in a village to a ground surrounded by tiered seating and double-deck stands that can hold thousands of spectators in a metropolis.
		The best-kept area of a cricket field is the pitch, a stretch 10 feet (3.04 meters) wide between two wickets, which face each other 22 yards (20.12 meters) apart.
		Bowling differs from pitching in that the arm must be kept straight when raised above the shoulder--the ball must not be thrown.
