question
Q: On June 15th, 1948. Bradman’s ‘Invincibles’ arrived.
Standing: Neil Harvey, Sid Barnes, Ray Lindwall, Ron Saggers, Doug Ring, Bill Johnston, Ernie Toshack, Keith Miller, Don Tallon, Sam Loxton. Seated: Keith Johnson (Team Manager), Ron Hamence, Ian Johnson, Lindsay Hassett (Vice Captain), Don Bradman (Captain), Bill Brown, Arthur Morris, Colin McCool, Bill Ferguson (Scorer).
His fourth and final tour to England, Bradman led Australia to victory in the first Test over England at Trent Bridge. A commanding display in which the Don himself made 138, it heralded the arrival of a dominant Australian team; the Invincibles.
The Australians, determined to exhibit “bright and attractive” cricket to a war-weary England public, were a mixture of both experienced and precociously talented young players on this tour. From Bradman – the captain and greatest player of all time – to Neil Harvey, the youngest of the squad and one of the most exciting players in the world, the Australians had talent on every line.
Claiming victory in the Ashes 4-0, only persistent rain in the third Test enough to prevent a rampant Australian team from a whitewash result. Unperturbed, they continued in fine form after the Ashes; a further 27 first-class fixtures – through all of which they remained undefeated.
The result has never been bettered and the feat forever enshrined in the team's name 'Invincibles'.
