On this day in 1955 Border was born, who later became the first Australian batsman to score 10,000 Test runs. He is the second highest-scorer for Australia in test cricket till now, only behind Ricky Ponting.
"He was the first Australian to 10,000 Test runs and one of his country's finest ever captains, leading them from a low ebb to being one of the best sides the game has known. Happy birthday, Allan Border," ICC tweeted.
