In case you are wondering about the history behind that statue - in a town called Hastings along the English Channel (founded after the Battle of Hastings in 1066), there was a cricket field where many locals and not-so-locals came to play. When the city officials decided to attract more tourism (and thus, more $$) they built a mall where the cricket field once stood and in it's memory, they erected (pardon the pun) this very oddly posed man. And against a far wall (not pictured) is the ball that he has just hit with his bat...his other wooden bat (not pictured).
