1st Test Cricketer Younger Than You?

I remember stuff that was posted 4 years ago by posters some people haven't even heard of. And some things stick in the mind more than others.

No-one, from any country.

However, Hasan Raza and Mushtaq Mohammed were "officially" younger than I am, on their test debut.

Without researching the matter I would hazard a guess at Liam Plunkett, who was about 20 when he played in Pakistan, I was 21. Can't remember anyone else, I think Anderson is about a year or two older than me, and Bell as well

Definately Plunkett for you. So far for you there've been Plunkett, Bopara and Broad.

No one who has played international cricket is younger than me (currently).
And, Raza's the only one to make his debut at a younger age than my current age.

The time to start considering the wheelchair is when the whole team is younger than you, it most cases you'll also be approaching 40.

It will probably mean you're 20/21, awesome age to be itbt, not sure why you would dread it. The party days.

Despite being one of the more, um, senior posters on here, Charles Bannerman (arguably the 1st test cricketer) is not younger than me.

God that was dire.

Am guessing it'd have been someone like Michael Slater, Michael Bevan or Greg Blewett for you.
