It's interesting though, how many English players play 1st class cricket past their 40s. Graeme Hick is another I think - he made his 1st class debut in 1983! Brian Close Wilfred Rhodes, W.G Grace would be three more.

Yeah, I just realised you thought I was talking about them playing into their 40s, but I also guess that they have 100 100s to their name.

Hick correct

Brian Lara would have to be close given the number of test tonnes plus county cricket.

Graham Gooch, again for his longevity.

Would Mike Hussey be a smokey?

Colin Cowdrey

Dennis Amiss
John Edrich

and I reckon Glenn Turner would have gone close, he played plenty of county cricket
Mark Waugh
Barry Richards

Peter Kirsten
Clive Rice
