  1. Birthday- Peter McIntyre:

One of the most unluckiest players to have played cricket for Australia, Peter McIntyre was on 27th of April, 1966.

He made his debut in a test series against England in 1994-95 and impressed one and all with his skills with the ball. However, he was later replaced by the great Shane Warne who took McIntyre’s place in the national side once and for all. McIntyre got another chance two years later in a series against India when Warne was injured but he failed to impress the selectors and ended his career as a national player.

This biggest achievement for McIntyre would be the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar for just 10 runs in a game but with Stuart McGill, another wrist spinner on the horizon, McIntyre was completely forgotten by Australia.
