Ramprakash reaches 2000 runs

By Will 2 years ago, mid-August Leave a comment on this post

Good grief. 2000 runs is a lot of runs. He last did it in 1995, a season I remember well and I watched much of his batting then too. Somehow, his form this year seems even more fluid than back in '95.

He reached the landmark against Worcestershire, the second time this season he has scored one against them. It was his 8th in Championship cricket and he is now just 13 away from a century of centuries.

    *ahem*

    Your second para seems to suggest that it’s the second time this season Ramps has scored 200 runs against Worcestershire.

    Hmm. How?

    I don’t even mention his double hundreds

    Sorry, my mistake. What I meant was:

    I assume you mean something like “the second time this season he has scored a century against them”.

    That’s it. Apologies - dreadful English, really, but my hangover doesn’t allow for any better.

    Clash of the pedants…

    We’ve all done it. It’s the classic problem with writing on the computer - you go back and tweak something and don’t notice how it affects the other bits.

    No, it’s his habit of writing with a hangover. He writes fine when he’s sober ;)

    That’s just scary, he should be made to bat left handed.
