A batter's ground is the area behind thepopping crease at his end of thepitch. In general, a ground belongs only to the batter who is closest to it, and stays so until the other batter gets closer to it.[4]
Whether a batter is in or out of his ground is defined by Law 30 of theLaws of Cricket.[5] So long as the batter has his body or his bat (that he is holding) touching the ground, he is in it, and is said to have "made good his ground".[6]
Batters can run between the two grounds to scoreruns. However, if a batter is out of his ground (which can happen when he enters a ground that another batter is already occupying), he may bedismissed (prevented from further scoring) by beingrun out orstumped if the fielding teamput down the wicket in his ground.
