Minimalist poet, minimalist lifestyle

This is something I was pondering whilst listening to the cricket comentary on Wednesday; what is the optimum size for a cricket field in order to maximise the number of runs scored?

The smaller the ground, the easier it is to score boundaries but more difficult to find gaps between the fielders, and conversely, the larger the playing area, the rarer fours and sixes would be, but there would be plenty of gaps.

I wonder if someone has worked out a mathematical formula?

Something positive to report.

It seems to me that T-Mobile is actually treating its customers fairly. At the weekend my friend in Glasgow phoned me up and after a few minutes the signal was lost and so he left me a voicemail to finish the conversation.

I've just checked my credit balance on the phone and it seems that I haven't been charged for the retrieval of the voicemail message.
