That sport makes absolutely zero sense.

Impressive. Even tho I have no idea what I'm looking at.

Is it 6 points for the little fence or is that the big one?

It can go on for 5 days, they stop for Tea (meals) and after all that, you can still tie. Dumb.

It is 6 runs if the ball crosses on the fly (like a home run) over the rope/boundary marker you see on the ground (which the fielder was trying to stay inside of). If the ball crosses the rope along the ground it is 4 runs. If a fielder catches the ball and falls over the boundary it is considered 6 runs. No leaning on the fence like baseball.
The best part about the video non-cricket followers don't realize is the fact that the fielder caught the ball with his bare hands. A lot of people don't realize that the cricket ball is almost the same size and as hard as a baseball and weighs about the same. The fielder caught it with his bare hands. No glove, nothing.
The fielders dread playing in the winter in England. Every ball they catch stings and leaves a red mark in their palms in the cold weather. They can't even use hand warmers because for some reason it is illegal in cricket. They are stuck with sticking the their hands in their pants pockets or blowing into them to keep them warm.

England thought of this 200 years ago, planning for home field advantage. We will never be as sinister as those evil devils.
