Let's make this birthday one to remember.

63 years old (Born on November 23, 1961)

Happy Birthday, Merv "Fruitfly" Hughes! The man whose legendary handlebar mustache bowled over more batsmen than his fiery deliveries ever did. Your iconic presence at the 1992 Cricket World Cup still echoes in cricket folklore—though we're not sure if opponents feared your bowling or envied that magnificent facial hair.

From intimidating batsmen with fierce pace to charming fans worldwide with your boozy antics and larger-than-life personality, you've always been a true Aussie legend. May today be filled with laughter, cold beverages, and memories of wickets tumbling faster than empty beer cans after one of your celebrations. Cheers to you, Fruitfly!
