1948 SIGNED Invincibles Australian National Test Cricket Team Portfolio - (AUTHENTIC)
15 Signatures Signed by the 1948 Invincibles Team.
The Australian cricket team in 1948 was captained by Don Bradman, who was making his fourth and final tour of England and Managed by Keith Johnson. The team is famous for being the only Test match side to play an entire tour of England without losing a match. This feat earned them the nickname of The Invincibles, and they are regarded as one of the greatest cricket teams of all time.
The
strength of the Australian team was based around its formidable batting
line-up, which included Bradman, Arthur Morris, vice-captain Lindsay Hassett and Neil Harvey and the hostile fast bowling of Ray Lindwall, Keith
Miller and Bill Johnston.
Due
to the popularity of Bradman, generally regarded as the greatest batsman of all
time, and the fact that he had announced that it was his farewell international
tour, the Australians were greeted with much fanfare across the country, and
many records for match attendances were broken.
Bradman, Lindwall and Miller were among the ten inaugural inductees into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame in 1996. Hassett, Morris and Harvey were later inducted, so that 20% of the inductees are from the 1948 team.
