Team born in the same year as you

[thierry henry]

I cbf naming a team but both Kedar Jadhav and Prosper Utseya are born on the exact same day as me. Their standing as international cricketers is also similar to my standing as a CW poster.

You post with an unusual, occasionally suspect, action?

The best thing about this thread is that anyone born between 1970 and 1995 can claim Shahid Afridi.

[GoodAreasShane]

Matthew Breetzke
Patrick Page
Will Pucovski
Raynard van Tonder
Nazmul Hossain Shanto
Ishan Kishan
Sam Curran
Wiaan Mulder
Keemo Paul
Rashid Khan
Chemar Holder

Batting pretty light (Patty Page hasn't even played FC cricket) but that lower order engine room looks pretty handy

Ah kinda forgot about Avishka Fernando. He would slot in up top then. Lutho Sipamla to carry drinks/come in when one of the pacers breaks down

born in 1967. my team, unfortunately many good layers were born in 1966, hick & 1968 donald.

gary kirsten
darren bicknell
daryll cullinan
steve james
james brayshaw
hashan tillekratne
richard blakey, wk
neil smith
richard stemp
mike smith
ian bishop.

everytime i saw bicknell play he made runs, he would be sick seeing jason roy opening for england.
brayshaw averaged over 40 in a long shield career, a very underated player, even if he is an annoying commentator.
blakey in to strenghen the batting as it is a piss poor bowling side.

mike smith played 1 ashes test, and he and bishop would need a lot of luck.

i'm sure i could find a better team of players who died in 1967.

Any updates, young folks?

This site has a page that groups cricketers according to the year they were born. Who's got the best team?

1990

Jason Roy
Kusal Perera
Kane Williamson
Joe Root
Temba Bavuma
Jos Buttler
James Faulkner
Bhuveneshwar Kumar
Mitchell Starc
Mark Wood
Dane Piedt

12th man Jimmy Neesham

I think I did well picking Bavuma here. I picked the wrong South African spinner with Piedt over Maharaj. Neesham probably achieved more than Faulkner, Mohammed Shami would've been a better pick than Bhuvaneshwar. You could pick Rory Burns over Roy for a bit more red ball pedigree, but I think I prefer Roy's world cup win over a fairly unimpactful Test player.

An update to the site in the link also shows I also get a very solid mixed team by adding some of the best ever women in Perry, Knight and Kapp.

 

[Coronis]

1994

Aiden Markram
Ben Duckett
Marnus Labuschagne
Babar Azam
Shreyas Iyer
Litton Das+
Axar Patel
Kyle Jamieson
Kuldeep Yadav
Hasan Ali
Mohammad Siraj

I probably missed someone obvious, but not an awful side.

1997
Rituraj gaikwad
Tony de zorzi
Kyle veereynee
rishabh pant
charith asalanka
lahiru kumara

I don't why but I find it extremely hard to beat that you and Kuldeep are of the same age.....

1999

Abdullah Shafique
Rachin Ravindra
Shubman Gill
Harry Brook
Harry Tector
Cameron Green
Finn Allen+ (!?)
Washington Sundar

Well he’s still 29, I’ve already ticked over 30. Lucky bastard.


But am I missing an implication here lol? Don’t know that much about Yadav

 

[Molehill]

I see no one did 1972 yet…

Murray Goodwin
Vinod Kambli
Mark Butcher
Sourav Ganguly
Ian Ward
Dulip Samaraweera
Upul Chandana
Ian Harvey
Michael Kasprowicz
Aaqib Javed
Muttiah Muralitharan

Not sure what Wardy’s doing in there but makes me chuckle.

Yadav still kinda gives a "youngster new on the scene" vibes, especially in Tests; amplified by his baby face.

No offence, but the exact opposite of yours.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Tillekeratne Dilshan
Wavell Hinds
Craig McMillan
Darren Stevens
Paul Collingwood
Thilan Samaweera
Mark Boucher
Brett Lee
Matthew Hoggard
Saqlain Mushtaq
Iain O'Brien

Not a bad side from 76

 

[srbhkshk]

93 has basically no batting (other than Head) but I can claim an attack of Cummins - Nortje - Bumrah - Agar - Pandya.

Thats amusing since I’ve often been called a baby face. Only 2 years ago I got ID’d at the bottle shop
