Who is the cricketer who got his test number tattooed on his body a little before he debuted his country ?

Question

He gave wrong number to the tattooist. He thought that the numbering system was based on batting position rather than alphabetical order.

Answer 1

Ha ha ha ha!   What's that old saying?   Don't count your chickens?

Answer 2

Michael Slater

From Cricinfo: "The alphabetical rule escaped Michael Slater, who noted that 355 men had preceded him for Australia: he purchased personalised number-plates for his Ferrari and had himself tattooed with the number 356. Only later did he find out that he was actually No. 357, as Brendon Julian also made his debut at Manchester in 1993, and beat him alphabetically. Fortunately for Slater, the Australian board and Julian agreed that they could exchange numbers."
