Let's make this birthday one to remember.

63 years old (Born on August 28, 1961)

Happy Birthday, Ian Pont! May your celebrations be as powerful and accurate as those legendary throws that left batsmen scrambling. From Essex to Natal, you bowled with pace and batted with grit—truly cricket's ultimate all-rounder who made fielders think twice before taking a risky run.

Now coaching the next generation of speedsters, you've traded wickets for wisdom—but we bet you still secretly practice that rocket arm in the backyard! Here's hoping this year brings more success than ever (and fewer pulled muscles). Keep inspiring us all; after all these years, you're still hitting life's stumps perfectly. Cheers!
