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.
