Ray Lindwall bowled with genuine pace, great accuracy and effective late out-swing. He formed a most successful new-ball partnership with Keith Miller. His best Test series was in England in 1948 when he took 27 wickets at an average of 19.62. He became Australia’s leading Test wicket-taker when he passed Clarrie Grimmett’s record of 216.
His batting was of such a standard that he could be considered an all-rounder and he scored two Test centuries. He captained Australia in a Test against India at Bombay in 1956 when Ian Johnson was injured. Before concentrating on cricket he played first grade Rugby League as a fullback.
