He also played top-flight <a href="/wiki/Rugby_league" title="Rugby league">rugby league</a> football with <a href="/wiki/St._George_Dragons" title="St. George Dragons">St. George</a>, appearing in two grand finals for the club before retiring to fully concentrate on Test cricket.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A right-arm <a href="/wiki/Fast_bowling" title="Fast bowling">fast bowler</a> of express pace, Lindwall was widely regarded as the greatest <a href="/wiki/Pace_bowling" class="mw-redirect" title="Pace bowling">pace bowler</a> of his era and one of the finest of all time. He modelled his action on the great England fast bowler <a href="/wiki/Harold_Larwood" title="Harold Larwood">Harold Larwood</a>. Together with <a href="/wiki/Keith_Miller" title="Keith Miller">Keith Miller</a>, Lindwall formed a new-ball pairing regarded as one of the greatest to have played cricket. Lindwall was known for his classical style, with a smooth and rhythmic run-up and textbook side-on bowling action, from which he generated his trademark <a href="/wiki/Outswinger" title="Outswinger">outswinger</a> which moved away late at high pace. Lindwall mixed his outswinger with a searing <a href="/wiki/Yorker" title="Yorker">yorker</a>, subtle <a href="/wiki/Slower_ball" title="Slower ball">changes of pace</a> and an intimidating <a href="/wiki/Bouncer_(cricket)" title="Bouncer (cricket)">bouncer</a> that skidded at the heads of opposing batsmen. Later in his career, Lindwall developed an <a href="/wiki/Inswinger" title="Inswinger">inswinger</a>, which together with his variety, pace and control made him the most feared paceman of his time. </p><p>Lindwall was a fine <a href="/wiki/All_rounder" class="mw-redirect" title="All rounder">all round</a> cricketer; he was a hard-hitting batsman who scored two centuries at Test level and often improved Australia's position with his lower order batting. His best-known performance was his role in leading the Australian bowling during the <a href="/wiki/Australian_cricket_team_in_England_in_1948" title="Australian cricket team in England in 1948">1948 tour of England</a> under <a href="/wiki/Don_Bradman" title="Don Bradman">Don Bradman</a>; the 1948 Australian team went through the tour undefeated and gained the sobriquet <i>The Invincibles</i> which saw it regarded as one of the finest teams in cricketing history. Lindwall's place in Australian cricket history saw him inducted into the <a href="/wiki/Australian_Cricket_Hall_of_Fame" title="Australian Cricket Hall of Fame">Australian Cricket Hall of Fame</a> in 1996 as one of the ten inaugural members. In 2000, Lindwall was named in the <a href="/wiki/Australian_Cricket_Board_Team_of_the_Century" title="Australian Cricket Board Team of the Century">Australian Cricket Board's Team of the Century</a>. </p><p>One of five children of <a href="/wiki/Irish_Australian" class="mw-redirect" title="Irish Australian">Irish</a>-<a href="/wiki/Swedish_Australian" class="mw-redirect" title="Swedish Australian">Swedish</a> descent, Lindwall had a difficult childhood during the <a href="/wiki/Great_Depression" title="Great Depression">Great Depression</a>, with both parents dying before he finished high school. Lindwall was inspired in his childhood after watching <a href="/wiki/England_cricket_team" title="England cricket team">England</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Harold_Larwood" title="Harold Larwood">Harold Larwood</a>, the fastest bowler of the era, terrorise the Australian batsmen during the notorious <i><a href="/wiki/Bodyline" title="Bodyline">Bodyline</a></i> <a href="/wiki/English_cricket_team_in_Australia_in_1932%E2%80%9333" title="English cricket team in Australia in 1932–33">series of 1932–33</a> with short-pitched intimidatory bowling. During his teenage years, Lindwall rose through the ranks of <a href="/wiki/Sydney_Grade_Cricket" class="mw-redirect" title="Sydney Grade Cricket">Sydney Grade Cricket</a> at <a href="/wiki/St._George_Cricket_Club" class="mw-redirect" title="St. George Cricket Club">St. George</a> under the tutelage of Test <a href="/wiki/Leg_spin" title="Leg spin">leg spinner</a> <a href="/wiki/Bill_O%27Reilly_(cricketer)" title="Bill O'Reilly (cricketer)">Bill O'Reilly</a>, who was regarded as the finest bowler in the world at the time. Lindwall made his first-class debut for <a href="/wiki/New_South_Wales_cricket_team" title="New South Wales cricket team">New South Wales</a> in 1941–42. At the same time, Lindwall, a fine athlete, was playing for <a href="/wiki/St._George_Dragons" title="St. George Dragons">St. George</a> in the first-grade of the <a href="/wiki/New_South_Wales_Rugby_Football_League_premiership" class="mw-redirect" title="New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership">New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership</a> as a <a href="/wiki/Fullback_(rugby_league)" title="Fullback (rugby league)">full back</a>. </p><p>With the <a href="/wiki/Imperial_Japan" class="mw-redirect" title="Imperial Japan">Japanese</a> <a href="/wiki/Attack_on_Pearl_Harbor" title="Attack on Pearl Harbor">attack on Pearl Harbor</a>, interstate cricket was cancelled and in 1943, Lindwall joined the <a href="/wiki/Second_Australian_Imperial_Force" title="Second Australian Imperial Force">army</a> and served in <a href="/wiki/Papua_New_Guinea" title="Papua New Guinea">New Guinea</a> until 1945. Lindwall returned to Australia still suffering from the after-effects of tropical disease, but he quickly made an impact upon the resumption of first-class cricket. He did well enough to gain selection for a tour of New Zealand, where he made his Test debut in March 1946 in a match that was retrospectively accredited. Lindwall returned to Australia and spent the winter playing football for St. George, helping his team to the grand final of the <a href="/wiki/1946_NSWRFL_season" title="1946 NSWRFL season">1946 NSWRFL season</a>, after which he retired to concentrate solely on cricket. </p><p>Lindwall began his celebrated opening partnership with Miller during the 1946–47 season which saw his first <a href="/wiki/The_Ashes" title="The Ashes">Ashes</a> series against England. Lindwall brought up his maiden Test century in the Second Test and was the leading wicket-taker as Australia established its ascendancy in the post-war era. He topped the bowling the following season against <a href="/wiki/India_national_cricket_team" title="India national cricket team">India</a> and then led the Australian attack during its celebrated <i>Invincibles</i> tour of England. He took 86 wickets for the tour, including 27 in the Tests, the most by any bowler. He was at his best in the Fifth Test at <a href="/wiki/The_Oval" title="The Oval">The Oval</a>, when England were skittled for only 52, taking 6/20 as the hosts were unable to cope with his high-pace swing. Lindwall's efforts saw him named as one of the five <a href="/wiki/Wisden_Cricketers_of_the_Year" title="Wisden Cricketers of the Year"><i>Wisden</i> Cricketers of the Year</a>. </p><p>Following the <i>Invincibles</i> tour, Lindwall found the pitches in <a href="/wiki/South_Africa" title="South Africa">South Africa</a> in 1949–50 less to his liking and was dropped for the final Test. He returned in the following season against England, regularly taking wickets in another series win. The following year, he played a major part in stopping the much vaunted <a href="/wiki/West_Indies_cricket_team" title="West Indies cricket team">West Indian</a> batsmen, but he was criticised for his prolific use of short-pitched bowling. In 1952, Lindwall played in the <a href="/wiki/Lancashire_League_(cricket)" title="Lancashire League (cricket)">Lancashire League</a> in England, where he developed his inswinger. He returned to 1953 with an ageing national team in decline and despite the loss of the Ashes, commentators felt that Lindwall was at his zenith in terms of his bowling craft. Upon returning to Australia, Lindwall moved north to <a href="/wiki/Queensland" title="Queensland">Queensland</a> due to work commitments and then suffered a season of injury and illness in 1954–55 which saw him perform poorly as England retained the Ashes easily. </p><p>After a strong performance in the Caribbean, Lindwall missed half of the <a href="/wiki/Australian_cricket_team_in_England_in_1956" title="Australian cricket team in England in 1956">1956 English tour</a> with injury and was otherwise ineffective as Australia lost its third consecutive Ashes series. During the return trip to Australia, Lindwall <a href="/wiki/Australian_national_cricket_captains" class="mw-redirect" title="Australian national cricket captains">captained Australia</a> for the only time in a Test match against India in <a href="/wiki/Bombay" class="mw-redirect" title="Bombay">Mumbai</a>, after injuries forced out regular captain <a href="/wiki/Ian_Johnson_(cricketer)" title="Ian Johnson (cricketer)">Ian Johnson</a>. Following the repeated defeats to England, the Australian selectors instituted generational change and gambled on a radical youth policy which saw Lindwall dropped for the <a href="/wiki/Australian_cricket_team_in_South_Africa_in_1957%E2%80%9358" title="Australian cricket team in South Africa in 1957–58">1957–58 tour of South Africa</a>. Lindwall forced his way back into the Test team at 37 years of age in the following season, breaking <a href="/wiki/Clarrie_Grimmett" title="Clarrie Grimmett">Clarrie Grimmett</a>'s Australian Test record of 216 wickets. He retired from Test cricket after the tour of the <a href="/wiki/Indian_subcontinent" title="Indian subcontinent">Indian subcontinent</a> in the following season, with a total of 228 Test wickets. In retirement, Lindwall mentored Test world-record holder <a href="/wiki/Dennis_Lillee" title="Dennis Lillee">Dennis Lillee</a> and also served as a national selector. </p><p>In 2009, Lindwall was inducted into the <a href="/wiki/ICC_Cricket_Hall_of_Fame" title="ICC Cricket Hall of Fame">ICC Cricket Hall of Fame</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Early_years">Early years</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ray_Lindwall&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Early years"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Lindwall was born in <a href="/wiki/Mascot,_New_South_Wales" title="Mascot, New South Wales">Mascot</a>, in the Eastern Suburbs of <a href="/wiki/Sydney" title="Sydney">Sydney</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> the fourth of five children.
