#7 Ray Lindwall
The man from New South Wales is regarded as one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time. He, along with Keith Miller, formed one of the most potent new ball opening pairs. Lindwall had a classical action that generated high-speed deliveries that swung away late. He even had deadly yorkers and bouncers that made the batsmen's life difficult at the crease.
Lindwall was a decent batsman as well. He played proper cricket strokes and bailed out his team from precarious situations on many occasions. In fact, he even has two international Test hundreds to his name.
In his 228 first-class games, he scored 5042 runs and picked up 794 wickets. He made his Test debut for Australia against New Zealand at Wellington in 1946. Lindwall played 61 Tests before retiring in 1960. He gathered 1502 runs and claimed 228 wickets at a wonderful average of 23.03.
Lindwall turned out to be one Australia's greatest cricketers of his time and was even inducted into the Australian hall of fame in 1996. He was also a part of Don Bradman's famous 'Invincibles'.
