If Mark Ramprakash were a woman he (she) wouldn’t be particularly attractive.

Anyone read this week’s Justin Langer column, on the BBC? His description of Ramp’s 101st first class century is quite enlightening…especially considering he’s an Aussie git.

I’m sure all this ‘loosing his bottle’ shit was started by that prick Boycott.

There’s an old proverb which I find particularly relevant in this case:

“He who disses Ramps gets a kick in the balls.”

As one of the aforementioned Ramperverts, I am stabbing the little KP effegy as we speak.

Graeme Hick looks like he’ll go on playing until he literally drops dead Ceci, so he’ll have 200 in sights as well.

Do not let your man-on-man jest re KP and the Surrey Pensioner come to the ears of the Ramperverts – a stout (metaphorically speaking, heaven forfend I should impugn their waistlines) band of sisters dedicated to cheering their hero on to his 200th 100.

If I had a say, I’d pick him… What must the man do to be picked? If I offered it, and he didn’t take it, then I’d leave it there and not pick him again.

It might even predate the ankylosing spondylitis joke. There’s an even older post featuring ‘not literally’ that we didn’t link to.

We treat our long-term readers so well.

Cor, that joke’s nearly as old as the ankylosing spondylitis one.

I don’t think Ramps is an England contender, any more than Trescothick (who has also been rattling out big scores this year).

County cricket (especially the County Championship) is qualitatively different to international cricket, and success in one is not necessarily an indicator of success in the other. Even though it’s the only indicator we have – which is nice.
