THE AUSTRALIAN BAGGY GREEN CAP WORN BY RAY LINDWALL IN THE 1950-51 ASHES SERIES
Ray Lindwall is regarded as the leading fast bowler of the 1940s and 1950s. He introduced a new era of fast bowling, challenging batsmen with pace, swing, control and with the occasional "lethal" bouncer. As his Wisden obituary states, he was "the man who established fast bowling's role in the modern game".
Lindwall toured England in 1948, 1953 and 1956, also South Africa, the West Indies and New Zealand, and from 1946 until 1958 he was a first choice at home. In 29 Tests against England alone he took 114 wickets (22.44), and scored 795 runs. He reached his peak during the 1948 "Invincibles" tour, taking six for 20 as England were bowled out for 52 in the Fifth Test at the Oval.
In the 1950-51 Ashes series Lindwall took 15 wickets and scored 124 runs, helping Australia to a 4-1 Test victory. He captained Australia against India in 1956-57, and Queensland from 1955 until 1960. In 1960, at the age of 38, he was still opening Australia's attack. On his retirement in 1962 he had taken 228 Test wickets at 23.03 and 794 first-class wickets at 21.35.
