Pakistan left handed opening
batsman Shan Masood celebrated his 24th birthday on the first day of Test
against South Africa in Abu Dhabi. He gave himself a present the following day
by making 75 in his maiden innings. Shan Masood was actually the 12th man to
make his Test debut on his birthday, and the first since Sewnarine Chattergoon
of West Indies, against Sri Lanka in Port-of-Spain in April 2008. The first man
to do it actually did so in the first Test of all is Australian Bransby Cooper,
against England in Melbourne in March 1877, was celebrating his 33rd birthday
on the first day of Test cricket.
