Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on August 21, 1975)

Happy Birthday, Simon Katich! The man who made bowlers sigh and batsmen scratch their heads with that sneaky chinaman delivery. From your debut in 1997 for Western Australia to becoming a stalwart opener for New South Wales (2003–2012), you've always kept cricket fans entertained—whether it was your gritty innings or those quirky bowling spells.

And let's not forget Lancashire's delight when you joined them in 2013, bringing Aussie grit and charm to English shores. May your birthday be as timeless as your batting stance and as unpredictable as your spin bowling. Cheers to another year of classic Katich moments!
