Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on October 04, 1936)

Happy Birthday, David Pithey! A true all-rounder who dazzled cricket fans from 1963 to 1967 with your versatile talent and charm. Whether bowling crafty off-spin or crafting reliable innings at the crease, you did it all, making selectors beam (and opponents quietly grumble).

Your test career might have been short-lived in years but certainly not short on memories: toppling wickets with precision and keeping batsmen guessing each ball—truly timeless performances. Today won't be any different; may you celebrate by spinning great yarns as magically as your deliveries—just don't bowl-over the birthday cake!

Cheers to many more happy innings!
