This visualisation uses D3js to draw the shapes and sizes of cricket grounds from around the world.
The data points that feed in to each SVG image consist of ground length
, ground width
and ground name
. It was surprisingly difficult to find the dimensions of cricket grounds on the internet. I manually measured the majority of grounds myself using the 'measure distance' option in Google Maps.
To show Test Match batting and bowling records for each ground, hover over the pitch (or 'click' if on mobile device). Where a ground hasn't hosted a test match, ODI records are used. All statistics are sourced from www.howstat.com.
