Let's make this birthday one to remember.

45 years old (Born on July 04, 1980)

Happy birthday, Michael Klinger — the ageless opener who defied time by debuting last century (1999!) and spending the next decades proving "form is temporary; Klinger's class is forever." Your brilliant knocks for Victoria, South Australia, Gloucestershire and Western Australia highlight a career stacked with runs. Plus, how about finally representing Australia at 36? That's less 'late bloomer', more 'perfect timing'.

Age might slow some batsmen down; thankfully you never relied on foot speed anyway! May your birthday bring you as much joy as you've brought fans cheering from boundary to boundary over the years—though hopefully fewer quick singles this celebration.
