What is the width of a cricket wicket?
If by wickets, you mean the stumps, then the stumps (including the bails on top) are 28.5 inches. However if you mean the wicket, being the pitch, then it is 20 metres between the stumps. 1.2m in front of the stumps is the batsman's crease. The distance between the two batsman's creases will be 17.6m.

How a wicket is prepared?
Most of the time, the wicket is one of the two sets of three stumps and two bails at either end of the pitch.The wicket is guarded by a batsman who, with his bat, attempts to prevent the ball from hitting the wicket.The origin of the word is from the standard definition of wicket as a small gate. Historically, cricket wickets had only two stumps and one bail and looked like a gate. The third (middle) stump was introduced in 1775.The size and shape of the wicket has changed several times during the last 300 years and its dimensions and placing is now determined by Law 8 in the Laws of Cricket, thus:Law 8: The wickets. The wicket consists of three wooden stumps that are 28 inches (71 cm) tall. The stumps are placed along the batting crease with equal distances between each stump. They are positioned so they are 9 inches (23 cm) wide. Two wooden bails are placed on top of the stumps. The bails must not project more than 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) above the stumps, and must, for men's cricket, be 4 5⁄16 inches (10.95 cm) long. There are also specified lengths for the barrel and spigots of the bail. There are different specifications for the wickets and bails for junior cricket. The umpires may dispense with the bails if conditions are unfit (e.g., if it is windy they might fall off by themselves). Further details on the specifications of the wickets are contained in Appendix A to the laws.
Is there have half time in a cricket match?
No, there isn't a half time in tennis. There are only miniature breaks between games to get a quick sip of water or something, and longer breaks between sets, but no half time.
What is the 3-D distance formula?
The 3-D distance formula depends upon what the two points are that you are trying to find the distance between. In order to find the formula, you need to enter 2 sets of coordinates in the 3 dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, and then calculate the distance between the points.

Cricket Bowling crease length and width?
In cricket's rule number 9(specified by Marleybone Cricket Club or the MCC),the bowling crease,which is the line the stumps are in the middle of, is drawn at each end of the pitch so that the three stumps in the set of stumps at that end of the pitch fall on it (and consequently it is perpendicular to the imaginary line joining the centres of both middle stumps). Each bowling crease should be 8 feet 8 inches (2.64 m) in length, centred on the middle stump at each end, and each bowling crease terminates at one of the return creases. The popping crease, which determines whether a batsman is in his ground or not, and which is used in determining front-foot no balls (see law 24), is drawn at each end of the pitch in front of each of the two sets of stumps. The popping crease must be 4 feet (1.22 m) in front of and parallel to the bowling crease. Although it is considered to have unlimited length, the popping crease must be marked to at least 6 feet (1.83 metres) on either side of the imaginary line joining the centres of the middle stumps. The return creases, which are the lines a bowler must be within when making a delivery, are drawn on each side of each set of the stumps, along each sides of the pitch (so there are four return creases in all, one on either side of both sets of stumps). The return creases lie perpendicular to the popping crease and the bowling crease, 4 feet 4 inches (1.32 m) either side of and parallel to the imaginary line joining the centres of the two middle stumps. Each return crease terminates at one end at the popping crease but the other end is considered to be unlimited in length and must be marked to a minimum of 8 feet (2.44 m) from the popping crease.
Why is a soccer called a pitch?
So why is a soccer field called a pitch? Michael Quinion of World Wide Words has the very interesting answer: "The oldest sense of pitch that's immediately relevant is that of thrusting a stake or pole into the ground (as in pitching a tent). The sense of a playing field comes via that, originally from cricket. The act of setting up the playing area by knocking the two sets of stumps into the ground at the ends of the wicket was called pitching the stumps from the end of the seventeenth century on. However, it wasn't until the 1870s that the term was turned into a noun to describe the playing area and it was extended to football only about 1900-surprisingly late in both cases."
How a radar operates as a distance finder?
It measures the time for the reflected signal to return. Early RADAR sets made this measurement and directly converted it to distance by using a CRT with calibrated markings on its face in units of distance. Modern RADAR sets use high speed digital counters then compute and show the distance numerically.
