Let's make this birthday one to remember.

48 years old (Born on December 31, 1976)

Happy Birthday, Matthew Hoggard! May your celebrations swing more than your legendary deliveries did at Trent Bridge in 2005. From Yorkshire's steadfast paceman to England’s Ashes hero, you've bowled us over with unforgettable spells and that iconic hairstyle—both equally timeless.

As captain of Leicestershire from 2010 onwards, you proved leadership is just another pitch where you're comfortable taking wickets. Here's hoping today brings fewer ducks (unless they're roasted) and plenty of laughs as memorable as those epic victories against Australia. Cheers Hoggy—may the coming year be filled with joy faster than one of your classic outswingers!
