So Who Was Born First?

[DTCwordfan]

Joe Root or Sir Alistair Cooke, both 37 and 157 days when they reached the 10,000 runs milestone in cricket.....a magnificent achievement by both, only 14 inc. them having reached this level. But who was born first as they have declared a 'draw'.....

Congrats to both and Joe Root batted beautifully today to see England over the line and for his first-ever 4th innings century - well done to Ben Foakes as well, 32 not out.

Root 1990, Cooke 1984

I suspect DTC was wondering who was born first on the clock rather than the calendar?

[DTCwordfan]

exactly jno......should have said that.

[Captain2]

31 not 37, DTC?

[Fibonacci]

Joe Root born 1990
Alastair Cook born 1984.

So Alistair Cook born first.

Slightly different take on it here

Would you not also need to know the time on the day they reached 10,000 runs and convert that to GMT if appropriate?

well there we are, the Captain has nailed it....
