1st Test Cricketer Younger Than You?

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.
What ??

You do mean the team running cricket in one's country don't you ?

People like Sharad Powar for example.

Am guessing it'd have been someone like Michael Slater, Michael Bevan or Greg Blewett for you.
Yeah, think it was Slater IIRC. Sad thing is now, when I watch on TV I find myself saying "He's a good young player". Which is ****ty.

No-one at all for you yet Taz-meister... not even Piyush Chawla who is currently UIMM the youngest man with a Test cap for a Test-standard team (and he got it not far off 3 years ago now too).

Disagree. Have found myself thinking "geeze those were actually kind of crap years"
Haha, WoW. Will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever do such a thing myself.

If I could be an age forever, 19'd be it. With 18 close behind.

I have, it's one of my favourite films, I was just rather shocked at the nerve of you quoting it there.
As was I. Reported it TBH

EDIT- Not to complain but to point out that it may have been accidentally inappropriate.

Being a September birthday, my entire 18th year was spent at college.

Which was brilliant in one way and perhaps lesser in another.

I still regard myself as little more than a kid with adult rights TBH, never been any big pivotal change. I still feel exactly the same now as I did after finishing college.

No-one younger than me has played for England just yet. Adil Rashid is 10 months younger than me though, so I guess he's on track to be the first younger than me.
