Jimmy Cook Biography

Jimmy Cook is one of the most popular and richest Cricketer who was born on July 31, 1953 in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa.

Originally a middle-order batsman for Transvaal, his career blossomed when he converted to the opening position. He formed a formidable opening partnership with Henry Fotheringham, helping the Transvaal dominate the domestic scene in the 1980s. He captained the province later on in his career, and remains the third highest run scorer in South African first class cricket.

Cook was a prolific opening batsman both in his native South Africa and for Somerset County Cricket Club but South Africa’s exclusion from Test cricket cost him a significant Test career. He played in all 19 of South Africa’s ‘unofficial Test matches’ against rebel sides. Aged 39 and having waited two decades for an official Test cap, he edged Kapil Dev’s opening ball, a late outswinger, to third slip in the First Test between South Africa and India at Durban in November 1992, to become the first debutant to be dismissed by the first ball of a Test match; Leon Garrick of the West Indies also suffered this fate nine years later.
