Mark Ramprakash



The most recent player to score 100 FC county centuries. Given the structure of the county season he'll probably be the last too.

Sadly he had a temperament that let him down at times. Possibly a factor why he didn't play more often for England.
 
And every time he got a look in he failed because he didn't have the temperament for test cricket.

Trescothick was in unbelievable form at the end of his career, at a time we were struggling for openers, but it would have been a mistake to pick a 40 year old who went to pieces on overseas tours.
 
The most stylish batsman in England. Couldn’t relax when the pressure was on. Think he said between balls he couldn’t let go of a ball 5or 6 ago if making a mistake. In county it was fine the second It passed the bat
 
Scoring runs against teams with 1 good bowler in their attack is a lot easier than getting them against 4 good bowlers
I loved Ramprakash but classic example of a flat track bully
 
I could never understand why they kept picking him after his first few games. He was poor and you could see fear in his eyes. He was talking to imself so loud that everyone heard him. IT was very embarrassing hearing it on the commentary. Of course if he had been from the North it would have been different.
 
He played 50 odd tests and had a decent average....... for a bowler.

You can say a lot of things about Ramprakash, but that its 'surprising he didn't get a look in again' isnt one of them.
