Happy Birthday, Ted Dexter! Another year older and still batting strong—though rumor has it your cover drive remains as stylish today as when you captained Sussex and England back in the swinging sixties. Wisden Cricketer of 1961? Clearly a vintage that only improves with age!From leading Sussex to Gillette Cup glory twice (1963 & '64) to dazzling crowds at Lord's, you've always been cricket’s ultimate gentleman adventurer. May this birthday bring joy equal to hitting boundaries off fast bowlers—and may life continue bowling gentle half-volleys straight into your sweet spot.
Cheers on another innings well played, Ted!
