Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on April 22, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Jonathan Trott! You've gracefully mastered the art of batting so patiently that bowlers considered early retirement. Your steady presence at the crease earned you ICC and ECB Cricketer of the Year awards in 2011; no small feat for a chap who makes tea seem overly dramatic!

Of course, your legendary century during the 2010-11 Ashes at Melbourne—ensuring England retained that beloved little urn—still brings tears to Aussie eyes (happy tears for us English fans). So as you notch another year into your innings, may your birthday celebrations be as memorable and endless as your batting stance!
