WITH 10 surviving members of the 100 hundreds club, it says something that Worcestershire have three of them.
Tomorrow night at the London Hilton Hotel, Park Lane, the Lord’s Taverners will be holding a commemorative dinner for members of this prestigious group.
Graeme Hick, Tom Graveney and Glenn Turner will be presented with a special Gray Nicholls bat this evening, while all 10, of which Mark Ramprakash is the latest inductee, will sign a bat to be auctioned for charity.
But it’s unlikely that this remarkable feat of 100 first-class centuries will ever be achieved again as limited-over cricket, especially Twenty20, increases by the season.
The fact that two of the centurions are still playing today says a lot when their careers have spanned a combined total of 46 years and are still going.
