More correctly, KP is suggesting KP may play for South Africa (once he's eligible in over a year's time)

County championship he can get 12 wickets a match for 16 matches, so 192 wickets (except he'd be called up for England with these stats)
50 over competition he can play 11 games so bowl 660 balls maximum, therefore to get a strikerate of 43 he gets 15 wickets maximum
T20 he can play 17 games so bowl 408 balls maximum, so 17 wickets at a strikerate of 23 balls
Total = 224?
Who are the seven? There's a good quiz question. Freddie Brown? David Sales? Mal Loye? Mike Hussey? Hussey deffo did, he scored a couple for them
EDIT: Alan Lamb must be there but I'm lost on the others

Is that really all that is left to be salvaged from this 4 days of CC Div 2 cricket? A sad state of affairs indeed.

He would be the 6th different batsman out of the 8 times it has happened, Hussey did it 3 times.
331* MEK Hussey v Somerset, 329* v Essex, 310* v Gloucestershire

The rain has come to save us - we would have been bowled out before close tonight and following on in the morning otherwise ....

Great stating - we must have a few triple centurions must look it up - Muzza has two

Only 3 (Muzza twice) according to this site: http://cricketarchive.com (An awesome site, but be prepared to lose the next 3 hours of your life, or at least till Albion kick off....)

That's right: Ranji's highest was 285 and neither Bowley nor John Langridge managed a triple. A 300 score is comparatively rare in county cricket (particularly before the onset of 4-day matches)

my turn I guessTwo batsman each on 94 runs. Seven runs needed to win in last 3 balls. Both make 100*. How?

One hits a 6 to make his ton and 1 short of victory next over 2nd hits a 6 to win the game.

Sorry didnt see the 3 balls left so they start running and cross before tthe ball goes over the boundry for 6. so 2nd batsman faces next ball.
Two batsman each on 94 runs. Seven runs needed to win in last 3 balls. Both make 100*. How?
The batsman hits it to the furthest boundary and run three; the fielder returns it and makes a wild throw and it goes for four overthrows. The umpire then signals one short, so the first batter has scored six. The second batter is now facing with one to win and hits the first ball for six

thats one way (and the best answer imo), although with three balls he can hit a four and then the three with one short the next ball.
There's another way too
