Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on July 30, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Jimmy Anderson! You're aging like fine swing bowling—still sharp, unpredictable and leaving batsmen utterly confused. From your debut with Lancashire in 2002 to becoming England's all-time leading Test wicket-taker, you've bowled us over time after time. Your legendary performances at the Cricket World Cups of 2003, 2007 and especially that memorable run in 2011 have cemented you as a timeless cricketing icon.

Here's hoping this birthday swings into action just like one of your classic deliveries: smooth yet surprising! May you continue defying age (and gravity) on the pitch for many more overs ahead. Cheers to another year spinning success stories—and wickets—in style!
