Raymond Russell Lindwall (3 October 1921 – 23 June 1996) was a cricketer who represented Australia in 61 Tests from 1946 to 1960.

He also played top-flight rugby league football with St. George, appearing in two grand finals for the club before retiring to fully concentrate on Test cricket.

Lindwall mixed his outswinger with a searing yorker, subtle changes of pace and an intimid ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
