#2 Bill Lawry
Bill Lawry, a very famous commentator also known as the voice of Australia, was one of the grittiest and reliable batsmen Australia had. Making his debut in 1961, Lawry made a mark in his first two innings as he scored 57 (at Birmingham) and 130 (at Lord’s).
He built on his solid start, playing 67 Tests and scoring 5234 runs. He also scored 13 hundreds and 27 fifties. Ian Wooldridge, the English journalist, called him "a corpse with pads on" as he was very hard to dismiss.
He was also a very good captain. Lawry’s main goal as captain was to ensure that Australia didn't lose. Also, his partnership with Bob Simpson was one of the best during their time.
