1st Test Cricketer Younger Than You?

[Goughy]

Based on this post

The worst thing about Siddle is that he's the first cricketer to play a Test for Australia who was born after me.

Who was the 1st Test cricketer from your Country to be born after you?

For me
Ben Hollioake- Born 1977 and debuted in 1997

 

[NUFAN]

Peter Siddle

Oh ****, I am wrong Dan Cullen..

Going to do a Richard and say that the Test that Cullen played against Bangladesh shouldn't be counted.

If it's test cricket, then Piyush Chawla and Ishant Sharma. In ODI's there's been a heap of young players born after me including Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Virat Kohli and Praveen Kumar.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

None, due to Test cricketers from this country being somewhat hard to come by.

Quite a few from the world though.

Nazgul Hossain
Mushfiqur Rahim
Junaid Siddique
Sajidul Islam
Tamim Iqbal
Ishant Sharma
Piyush Chawla
Tim Southee

plus nine girls, one of whom has retired.

James Franklin

Only Tim Southee so far I think.

I have got to a stage in life where what I draw comfort from is that I am not yet as old as the oldest man to have made his test debut.

 

[Neil Pickup]

CBA to do the research. Will let Dickinson do it for me.

 

[Manee]

No one yet.

Similarly. Fred the second.

EDIT: Last to debut who was older was Udal &, sadly, likely to remain so I suspect.

Too depressing a topic.

 

[superkingdave]

Jimmy i think

 

[Tapioca]

Sachin Tendulkar. There are less than ten left now who are older than me

SJS - WG Grace ?

 

[Xuhaib]

Salman Butt but he was ahead by 3 years to me at school.So take it for what its worth.

 

[Polo23]

No one...as of yet. I expect it to be Corey Anderson though

The first one I noticed was younger was Broad. However, Hakon hsa jogged my memory and there's probably quite a few Deshi's who have.

The question is "from your country".

Not sure really, cbf doing the legwork. Someone younger than 22 as of 7 days ago.

 

[Goughy]

Internationally, the closest I can find is

Henry Olonga who was born just after me in 1976 and debuted in 1995

Fair point, didn't read it all itbt.

Australia - none.

NZ - Southee.

As i am not from a Test playing country I have to go with ODIs and the honour falls to Alex Obanda by only 11 months?
