Well, there have been almost 800 views of this thread now and I was wondering if someone might have made comment questioning this image (some of you may just have remained mute out of kindness) but it is actually an 1860's English cricket player. I guess it just goes to show how close the look of the players were during that early stage of base ball. I couldn't even tell myself except after looking at the ball a little closer (ok, well, that and the English photographer notated at the bottom of the image and on the back
).

It reminds me a great deal of the Hoboken Benefit image of Harry Wright in his cricket uniform (not mine):
