2nd paragraph doesn't explain how Surrey were relegated in a game they won. ||19:22, 15 July 2006 (UTC)}}
Does Ramprakash have the lowest Test batting average of specialist batsmen to have played 50 Tests? It's certainly quite a bit lower than that of Graeme Hick, the only other man who comes to mind in this regard. Loganberry ( Talk) 14:39, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
I think he probably has the worst average of any England batsman to play 50+ Tests, but Alistair Campbell of Zimbabwe only averaged 27.2 in 60 tests and it may be that there are others if you trawl through the records long enough. ReadingOldBoy 12:04, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
He ended with 2,278 runs at an average of 103.54, becoming only the sixth man to average over one hundred in an English season.[2]
Can we mention in the notes what the criteria for inclusion is. Tintin ( talk) 11:14, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
If his father is from Guyana (South America), and his mother English, he can hardly be half asian can he? Grunners 01:57, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
I think it is because his father is most likely from Asian roots. Reading in my atlas it says that one of the religions in Guyana is Muslim so it is likely that Mark's father is a Muslim. Gill P 06:52, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
ramprakash is a hindu name, guyana is mostly hindu.
In 2006, Ramprakash failed by only 10 runs to beat WG Grace's record for the most County Championship runs made against another team in a season. Grace made 547 runs (243* & 3; 301) for Gloucs against Sussex in 1896; Ramprakash made 537 runs (51 & 155; 301* & 30) for Surrey against Northants 110 years later. (CricketArchive) Loganberry ( Talk) 03:42, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
I corrected this sentence, as it contained a couple of errors. Firstly, 2007 did not see Ramprakash become the first man to score hundreds against all 18 first-class counties, as he had already completed the set in 2003. And secondly, his record was not to score 2,000 runs in successive English seasons, which lots of people have done (look at Jack Hobbs if you want real consistency!), but to average over 100 in successive English seasons. I specify "English" because Don Bradman managed the feat in 1938, 1938-39 and 1939-40, though in the 1938-39 season he only played seven innings; some record lists will not count anything below eight innings as a full season. If we specify "English" we avoid the problem. Loganberry ( Talk) 22:34, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
How the hell did this guy play so many tests when he averages 27? Is that a typo? If not it is a ridiculously low average for a test batsman!! 130.56.93.61 ( talk) 01:53, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
