Looking through the county cricket reports and scorecards in the paper this morning I noticed a number of the old boys have been showing the kids how it's done:

"Happy Hick overtakes W G Grace referred to an exquisite 127th century (176 runs from a total of 306) from the 38 year old on a very tough batting wicket.

"Ramprakash oozes class" starts "Mark Ramprakash has been described by many as having the best batting technique in the land" and reports an innings of "rare quality" which took the veteran past 25,000 1st class runs: a tally surpassed only by Hick (of current batsmen: I've no idea how many have managed it in the past).

Obviously Key and Bell were grabbing headlines for the younger players.. but I'm pretty sure Nick Knight has already been grabbing headlines this year.. and don't doubt assorted other veterans will do so over the summer: any suggestions for other veterans to watch out for would be gratefully received.
