First, start with your two wicket lines(where the stumps are placed). They are to be 22yds (66ft) apart with three stumps at one end in line with the three at the other. Then paint the Bowling crease, 4ft in front of the wicket line, and should extend 4ft either side of the return crease. If you need wide lines for a one-day match, they are made 75cm from the outside of off stump. Last, but not least are the danger area markings. These are to be only 2 inches long and are place 1ft either side of middle stump going backwards from the bowling crease and 5ft in front of the popping crease on either side of the pitch.

Because cricket is cool but they cant bowl straight so they need lines to guide them.
