International Debutant
It was also his 100th for Worcestershire, the first player in our history to do so!
Looks like he's after doing it this year tbh8 years ago in fact (1998)
anyway i brought this back up as Hick has just overtaken Sir Len Hutton to go 8th on the all time list with his 130th hundred.
Meanwhile Mark Ramprakash has notched his 83rd century (and his 4th in eight matches this year) as well as becoming the first person to 1000 runs this year.
At this rate he'll be on about 86/87 at the end of the year, 2/3 more years and he could do it. Surrey seem to be resting him for OD games now and then.
They might have counted the hundred against Bradford/Leeds. Which isn't first class.Probably right. Just thoguht I read that it was his 92nd last night
I think he will play about 10 or 11 more FC games if picked this season. It's certainly possibleJust checked cricinfo, he had scored 90 going into this game and now has 91. Will he crack the ton by the end of the season? I'm not sure how many games he'll play.
nahCook has 16 (assuming he is going to make that one today), and he is only 22, a cert for mine.
Caddick must be there or thereabouts. Although he might've even beaten Bicknell to it so you could be right.Ramps will do it next year I think - and I'm going to do my best to be there to see it. I saw Martin Bicknell get his 1000th wicket (maybe the last English bowler to do it?) but that would be something else. Just hope it's a home game.
Why not? He could quite easily be playing for another 16 or 17 years at least, and as long as he gets a decent number of games for Essex - which he has so far and will continue to do if he doesn't make a successful ODI career - he should easily score 100 centuries. And his chances are even better if we start getting a few more proper tour-games, which I'm hopeful might, maybe, happen again sometime.nahCook has 16 (assuming he is going to make that one today), and he is only 22, a cert for mine.
Future scheduling will play a huge part there, won't it? I mean, if they continue to have the number of OS tours they do now, or even increase them as, say the Bangas get better,(hopefully) Zimbobs get their act together and possibly Ireland come in (who knows 10-15 years down the track?), will the players get enough FC matches to reach the heights of yesteryear? With scheduling like the last Ashes series (both home and away), where visiting teams get minimal wamr up matches vs Counties/ States, will there be enough games played?Cook has 16 (assuming he is going to make that one today), and he is only 22, a cert for mine.
Amazing effort for bowlers to do that. Also makes Warne et al's efforts in taking 1000+ international wickets all the more amazing.I saw Martin Bicknell get his 1000th wicket (maybe the last English bowler to do it?)
He has already passed the mark, sitting on 1087 at the moment.Caddick must be there or thereabouts. Although he might've even beaten Bicknell to it so you could be right.
