Jason Krejza, the Australian offspinner having a sensational debut, was born on this day. Jason took 12 wickets on debut against India in Nagpur including eight in the first innings. But Krejza conceded more runs than anyone in his maiden Test. He played only one more Test against South Africa in which he took one wicket. After that he was dropped from the side.
