Born- 27 July 1955 at Cremorne, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
A gritty left-hander, Allan Border retired as the leading run-scorer in test cricket. He also set Test records for most captaincies (93), most consecutive appearances (153) and most Tests (156) as well as being the first player to appear in 200 ODIs. He had a successful ten-year reign as Australia’s captain restoring their fortunes from a low when he took over.
He became the first batsman to score 150 in both innings of a Test when he made 150* and 153 against Pakistan at Lahore in 1980, while his finest performance was a match double of 98* and 100* against a rampant West Indies pace attack at Port-of-Spain in 1984. He was a useful part-time left-arm spinner with a remarkable match haul of 11-96 against West Indies at Sydney in 1989 to his credit.
