<div style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;">The 20.12 meters size of thecricket pitch is a result of 22 yards which has a historical background of cricket in England. This distance was made the same because the game needed to be consistent. The fixed length of pitch enables the bowlers and batters to become skilled in bending on the same length, e.g. speed of bowling, judging a bounce, and footwork. The alteration of the pitch length would make a great difference in the game-play and would not allow one to draw parallels with the past. Cricket has maintained a balance between the bat and ball by keeping the pitch size constant without adversely affecting the historical integrity of the sport.</div>
