Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on July 16, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Shaun Pollock! The pitch misses your pinpoint accuracy and batsmen still tremble at the memory of facing that relentless swing. Forever recalled for your heroic exploits with South Africa—especially those magical spells in whites or greens—you've bowled us all over countless times.

From memorable wickets against cricket's toughest legends to crunch-hitting cameos down the order, you consistently delivered like clockwork; never missing a chance to lead from front wheels (pun intended). Enjoy this innings off—the party today hopefully livelier than any boundary celebration during Mumbai Indians and Durham days combined. Celebrate big—we know you can't resist aiming perfectly even now!
