Ahhh my first reaction was 43 but i changed my post to 40 in the hope i'd be right. In any event i'm still wrong. Hick's had a good career to be fair.
Worcestershire have always been my second favourite county....so I've followed his career since about 85.
Well recall staring in disbelief at teh ceefax scorecard when Hicky took 405 no off Somerset in 88.
Back then when waiting to qualify he was just a phenomenon....unfortunately it didn't quite work out at test level....but there were some good knocks like the 98 no at Sydney when Atherton declared and deprived him of a century v Convicts.
His one day stuff for England was decent though.
My favourite Hick memory though was on Question of Sport, I suppose around 94, when the graphic showed a small clip of some action at the CG.. question: what ground? None of the other participants had a fucking clue, but Hicky knew.
