Centurion at Centurion
In the last year, several players played their 100th tests - Murali, Dravid, Langer, Pollock, Chanderpaul, Fleming, Kallis, etc. as far as I remember.
Mark Boucher joined the pack today, when he took the field against Pakistan at SuperSport Park, Centurion (which explains the title of this post!).
Boucher's been a bug-bear of sorts for most teams for the last half-a-decade or so now. As it is, South Africa normally have a handy lower order.

He's been a pretty safe wicket-keeper too and has kept to some fairly high-class quicks (Donald, Pollock, Nel). Boucher (380) and Gilchrist (381) will now have a running battle to go past Ian Healy's mark of 395 wicket-keeping dismissals.
Congrats, Mark!

Well he was dropped in late 2004 when South Africa toured India. He didn't take too long to make a comeback.
