Message:Dear Sir Donald: Wish you many more birthdays. As a young boy in India nearly 50 years ago, the greatest pleasure for me was to read about your exploits on the cricket field. One of the first things I did in 1965 when I was in Adelaide was to visit the South Australia Sheffield Shield ground in Adelaide, pretending that I could watch you play. I made it a point to visit all the major cricket grounds in Australia except the one at Perth. Thank you for bringing so much enjoyment to so many.

Message:Hiya Sir Don, you are the greatest batsman on the face of earth as far as scoring runs is concerned. I used to think that it would have been easy in your days to scores runs, at the average you scored, but then after giving this issue a little bit of thought I concluded that at any stage, scoring runs at the pace and with the consistency you did is practically impossible. One single claim is that given the present bowling conditions, if I (I am a very ordinary bowler myself) presonally were to bowl to any star batsmen of today, he/she will not be able to score like you. Anyway, many happy returns of the day, may you always be considered an icon of cricket.

Being 26 years old, I was not around when you were blazing the cricketing world and neither do I play cricket any more. But, I luv cricket and I guess thought this would be good time (if not a good way) of expressing my hearfelt appreciation for what you gave to the cricketing community as a whole. In a classic Bradmanesque style, why don't you stick around for yet another 'century'..[and you better not fool around when you touch 99. You seem to have a problem with this number..:-)] With best wishes.
