The first player younger than you to play for your Country

Line and Length
Cricketer Of The Year
Doug Walters debuted on 10th December 1965 - 11 days before his 20th birthday.
Derek Underwood debuted on 30th June 1966 - shortly after his 21st birthday.
Both were relatively young to break into Test cricket and both are a few years younger than me.
As someone born in England and living in Australia I was interested in finding that two high profile players fitted the bill and that no 'lesser lights' qualified.

How many of you here have a test cricketer born on your exact birthday?
I do, although factoring in timezones I am probably older by a fair few hours

For me it is Steyn. In fact I do not know if he is younger or elder to me.

You can only prove that there will be Test cricketers that share the same birthday, UIMM

i was going by the nuclear safety standard of proof.
Anyway, this is all way off topic and I can't find the maths thread. @GoodAreasShane should start a thread for exact birthday twins though

Not many.. But this thread will answer for all of us:
Adrian Griffith and Cameron Bancroft seem the most notable ones for my birthday.

The Lion of Bangalore is a worthy cricketer to share a birthday with, Shady.. I approve.
