1) The document describes a method for laying out a cricket pitch using Pythagoras' theorem, measuring distances and drawing lines. 2) Key elements that are laid out include the length of the pitch (20.12m/22 yards) and its width (10 feet), as well as markings for the bowling crease (8.8 feet), popping crease (12 feet), and returning crease (8 feet). 3) Additional circles are drawn around the pitch at distances of 15 yards from the bowling crease and 30 yards from the popping crease to outline the full playing area.

Find out two points
respectively ‘F’ & ‘G’ , which is
10.06 m. either side of point ‘E’.
(with the help of Pythagoras
theory 3:4:5 mt.)
Now over all length of Cricket
pitch is 20.12 m. (22yards) from
F to G.
 find out another two points
respectively points ‘H’ & ‘I’ which
is four (4ft) feet from point F & G.

Draw a line from ‘I’ to ‘J’ over
the point of ‘G’ which is 4.4ft
either side of point G. (with the
help of Pythagoras theory .)

minimum 12ft. Length from K to L points

Draw two lines which is parallel each other over the point of ‘I’ & ‘J’ Created MN &
OP which is 8 ft in length .
These two lines are also called Returning crease.
Draw another two lines which is 17 inc. inside from the MN & OP respectively.
These two lines are using for checking wide balls.
In this way we have to draw all this lines in other end of the pitch.
