Lindwall was a terrific sight to behold for the spectators and a menace to the batsmen all over the world. He had a very smooth bowling action and could generate fearsome pace. He also formed a great bowling partnership with Keith Miller and those two tormented the English batsmen especially in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Lindwall also had great control over line and length and remained very difficult to score off.
He played 61 Tests for Australia and took 228 wickets at an average of 23. His strike rate of 59.87 was also quite impressive and many of his contemporaries have described him as one of the finest fast bowlers of all time. Lindwall also won quite a few matches for Australia with his lethal bowling. He hung up his boots in 1960 before ensuring his place in Australian cricket’s hall of fame. His best bowling figures of 7/38 came against India.
