Do you share your birthday with a Test cricketer?

[Corli]

I share my birthday with Jeff Dujon, Misbah-ul-Haq and Ashwell Prince.

Also with Bob Crisp, whom I've never heard of, but seems a mighty interesting fellow.

Yeah, Steve Camacho, Gul Mohammad, and more recently Ravi Rampaul (2 years your senior). Plus some more obscure names (Gul being only famous for being a dual international and for being involved in the highest First-Class stand in history (577) with Vijay Hazare.

Only heard of Jaffar and Griffith, though.



Cool things that happened on November 19th include:

1986: First test win for England in the Ashes... Botham made a hundred and Emburey and another guy took some wickets.

1932: First signs of Bodyline, apparently. And Larwood took his 1000th FC wicket.

2000: Donald took his 300th test wicket.



EDIT: My birthday is "National Integrity Day" here in India... I share my birthday with:

Indira Gandhi (late former PM of India)
Sushmita Sen (former Miss Universe)
Jodie Foster

Jupp was one of England's best batsmen in the pre-WG Grace days, though the two's careers overlapped for many years. Dunno any of the rest myself though TBH (apart from Jaffar and Griffith, and even Jaffar I only know the name, not the first thing about him).

 

[andruid]

As has been mentioned, Nathan Bracken.

All else in life means nothing. EDIT: Including that on the same date, in 2005 we lost the Ashes, and in 2007 we lost to Zimbabwe.

Just a bad date for Australian Cricket I guess

October 2nd

Sir Pelham Warner
Budhi Kunderan
Tom Moody
Alan Wells
Justin Kemp

There were about five or six others, but mostly nobodies. Interesting to note that in 1994 Inzamam-ul-Haq and Mushtaq Ahmed took Pakistan to victory agains Australia and Steve Waugh struck 157 in 1998 to set up Australia's first ever win in Pakistan. In 1964, during a South African trial, Colin Bland and Denis Lindsay scored 267 runs in 99 minutes.

Welcome to the forum mate

Tip number 1: Never bring up Murali's action. All hell breaks loose.

You're a tough man to please if you don't think Bill O'Reilly was a "decent player."

 

[neutralguy]

December 20 ! And there is no decent player born on this date !

Hey buddy iam born on the same date, but unfortunately iam just a cricket watcher.

 

[FRAZ]

Hey buddy iam born on the same date, but unfortunately iam just a cricket watcher.

8: 30 p.m. too ?

 

[Craig]

Not a cricketer obviously, but I had no idea Nelson Mandela and myself (and anybody else born on June 11) share the same birthday, including Joe Montana, Gene Wilder, Jacques Cousteau, Vince Lombardi, while John Dyson and Henry Williams were born on this day as well.

Cricketing wise, Pelham Warner made the first radio ball-by-ball coverage for the Middlesex and Nottinghamshire. Saqlain Mushtaq took a WC hat-trick against Zimbabwe and while Gloucestershire were routed for just 12 and George Dennett had match figures of 15-20 ! Quite unlucky not play for England or was the original destoryer on a wet wicket.

None cricketing wise, Captain James Cook discovered the Great Barrier Reef off of Australia when he ran aground in 1770, while in 1937 Josef Stalin began a purge of Red Army generals and Timothy McVeigh was executed by the U.S. federal government for his role in the bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City in 2001.
