TYPES OF THE VBCW (17) - THE CRICKETER

Note: suitable odd "cricketer figures" can be found in a number of manufacturer's lists (like this Wargames Foundry figure, or check out Hasslefree, for example) but Sloppy Jalopy helpfully produce a whole cricket team - see some very nicely painted examples here.
