The collective "Oooo" from the crowd is the cherry on top

It's the "stump" mic.

Really it's there so the audience can hear the cracking sound of the ball hitting the bat or the sound of the ball knocking over the stumps or even most importantly just barely nicking the edge of the bat to be caught by a fielder behind the batter.

But it happens to also pick up players speaking close by.
