Ramprakash celebrating landmark

Surrey's Mark Ramprakash is delighted to celebrate being one of the 10 living batsmen to have scored 100 hundreds in first-class cricket.

The 38-year-old former England international is the 25th player to achieve the feat.

He told BBC London 94.9: "For me to be included I'm pleased, my main focus is to enjoy my cricket as I know I don't have a lot of time left.

"It is boring being on 102 now, it was much more exciting when I was on 99."

Ramprakash is attending the Centurions Dinner, staged by The Lord's Taverners, on Monday.

The 10 batsmen attending are Zaheer Abass, Dennis Amis, Geoff Boycott, John Edrich, Graham Gooch, Tom Graveney, Graeme Hick, Glenn Turner, Sir Vivian Richards and Ramprakash.
