In cricket and soccer the ball and player can be 'outside' the marked 
line but in the air. Only when the player touches the ground are they 
'out'.

Err cricket uses less area than Australian Rules Football and sometimes 
the two cohabit a facility.

So the cricket 'field' will be smaller than that football field.

Where cricket and soccer occur together there are sometimes 2 soccer 
fields with the cricket pitch in between the two soccer fields. The 
cricket field does no take on the outer boundaries of the 2 soccer fields..


Does the 'playing area' of chess include the table and seats?

Then think of water and snow skiing...
