Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on November 27, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Michael Yardy! May your day be filled with more joy than the Sussex dressing room after clinching the County Championship. Your leadership on and off the pitch has always been as reliable as your steady left-arm spin—never flashy but consistently brilliant.

From captaining Sussex to memorable victories, to proudly representing England in that unforgettable 2011 World Cup campaign—you've bowled us over every time (pun intended!). Here's hoping this birthday brings you fewer googlies and plenty of boundaries. Cheers to another year of great innings ahead; may it be even better than a match-winning knock at Hove!
