The Wikipedia article of the day for October 3, 2018 is Ray Lindwall with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948.Ray Lindwall was a key member of the Australian cricket team that toured England in 1948. Lindwall (3 October 1921 – 23 June 1996) played as a right-arm opening fast bowler and right-handed batsman in the lower middle-order. The Australians, who went undefeated in their 34 matches, were called The Invincibles. Lindwall and Keith Miller formed Australia's first-choice fast-bowling duo, regarded as one of the best of all time, and captain Don Bradman typically used them in short bursts with the new ball. The pair subdued England's leading batsmen for much of the summer. Lindwall was a capable batsman who made two Test centuries during his career, and he featured in several rearguard actions that boosted Australia's scores during the tour. He was one of two leading wicket-takers in the Tests (with 27), and had the best bowling average (19.62) and strike rate. Lindwall was chosen as one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Year.
