You can see this in my diagram below. The problem with using steps to measure a cricket pitch is the wide variations in the length of steps people take. Long on is the final boundary based fielding position on the leg side of the batsman.

If you imagine a line down the middle of the cricket pitch then the long on position would be about 5 10 metres to the leg side of that line.

It is 22 yards or 20 meters long in measurement. As stated above the pitch lies in the middle of the cricket field.
