Graeme Hick Celebrates 99th Century
In the same week as he became only the third cricketer ever to reach 60,000 runs across all forms of the game, Graeme Hick has struck his 99th century for Worcestershire.
With a total of 129 first class hundreds to his name, he has now equalled the achievements of Len Hutton. The pair sit in eighth place on the all time list, behind names such as Geoff Boycott, Walter Hammond and Jack Hobbs.
Graeme finished the day on 151 not out, having faced 184 balls and smashed 19 fours and 2 sixes.
He was accompanied at the crease by Ben Smith, who was 121 not out at stumps and the pair are just 8 runs away from the all time 4th wicket stand for Worcestershire.
