Dimensions in the Laws of Cricket have, since 1980, been stated with an imperial value followed by a metric value. The values are not exactly equivalent and there is no statement about which value takes precedence. Current laws are at: www.lords.org/cricket/laws.asp Previous laws are archived at: www.cricket.org/link_to_database/SOCIETIES/ENG/ACS/CRICKET_HISTORY/LAWS/
