About Jimmy Cook
Stephen James Cook is a former South African association footballer and cricketer who played in three cricket Test matches and four One Day Internationals from 1991 to 1993.

He holds the unique distinction of having faced the first ball of South Africa's international cricket match since readmission. Cook became the first ever South African to have faced the white ball in an ODI and coincidentally his son Stephen Cook was also the first South African to face the pink ball as well as the first ever delivery in a day-night Test match.
