Ramps
So, Mark Ramprakash finally managed to score his hundredth first class hundred yesterday.  I'm thrilled for him, I really am.  It's just that since scoring his ninety ninth one at the start of May, Surrey  have played seven Championship matches home and away.  And I went to the first six of them hoping to be there when he reached the milestone.  But Leeds was just a match too many, too far away, too difficult to arrange (time off work, booking travel and hotel, cost) so I decided not to go.  So of course that's when he did it.  So now I feel as disappointed for not being there as I feel pleased for him.  And he's quite possibly going to be the last man to reach the landmark!

You know that saying about watched pots.... Whichever match you missed, that's when he would have done it.

But well done him. I bet he's glad the pressure's off now.

BTW, you should have a cricketing icon during the summer.

Better. Even better if he was in whites.

Just had Escape to Victory on cable. Again.
