How long was the cricket pitch discovered in Thailand?

About as long as that dinosaur's neck.

It had an unusually long neck and measured up to 20m (66ft) - roughly the length of a cricket pitch.

Seems they're covering metric, imperial and sports field based measurements; The holy trinity of distance measuring.

They invented it, but they're also correct to abandon it.

They didn't even invent it, they inherited it like America

Beer and milk measured in pints but no other liquids are.
