Notable Births

1967Daryll Cullinan, South African cricketer and coach[†]

Daryll John Cullinan is a former South African first-class cricketer who played Test cricket and One Day Internationals for South Africa as a specialist batsman.

He ended up playing 70 tests and 138 ODIs for South Africa. Cullinan's career Test average of 44.21 is only surpassed by ten South Africans with more than ten Tests. At the time of his retirement, he held the record for scoring the most test centuries for South Africa, with 14.
