Watching a cricket match inside a stadium is a very different experience. People cheer Home team more but sometimes for some countries like India, their fans are found everywhere.
In india, the noise inside a cricket stadium generally filled with 100k people gets so deafening that it creates an environment of a meditation where you have one objective only and that's cricket.
I think it was the one @carlosfandango described.

You should check out some of the crowd catches over the years. Big sums of money for a clean, one-handed crowd catch off a ‘6’ on tv

I know these are 5year old kid questions for you, but a 6 is into the crowd on a fly, and a 4 is into the crowd on one bounce?
reply
A 4 can even be with as many bounces as it can take.
Actually there's a rope around the ground nearly 60 to 70 metres from the pitch. If a bowl crosses that rope on the fly, it is a six. If the ball crosses that rope through the ground, it's a 4.

Okay. That alleviates a lot of confusion. I still have plenty left, though.

Yeah - I really haven’t helped…. Lol

For a 4, can it bounced off a fielder? (muffed catch)
reply
Yes. Or the catcher touched the boundary rope while holding the ball.

Have to agree that there is nothing better than watching cricket in a stadium. The crowds for depending on the format makes such a difference. Personally I love watching test match cricket like but the atmosphere in T20 is something else!
