Was a cricketer for New South Wales (NSW) and Australia. Regarded as one of the great stylists of Australian cricket during the era between the two World Wars, Kippax overcame a late start to Test cricket to become a regular in the Australian team between the 1928–29 and 1932–33 seasons. A middle-order batsman, he toured England twice, and at domestic level was a prolific scorer and a highly considered leader of NSW for eight years. To an extent, his Test figures did not correspond with his great success for NSW and he is best remembered for a performance in domestic cricket—a world record last wicket partnership, set during a Sheffield Shield match in 1928–29. His career was curtailed by the controversial Bodyline tactics employed by England on their 1932–33 tour of Australia; Kippax wrote a book denouncing the tactics after the series concluded.

Is a former Australian cricketer of the 1950s and 1960s. He was an all rounder: a lower order hard hitting left-handed batsman, and an outstanding left-arm fast-medium opening bowler. Strongly built and standing six feet tall, Davidson was known for his hard hitting power, which yielded many long hit sixes. His left arm bowling was a mainstay of the Australian pace attack of the 1950s and early 1960s, and from the late 1950s widely regarded as one of the finest pace bowlers in the world, with a classical bowling action which imparted late swing.[1] Davidson was considered along Wasim Akram as the two greatest left arm fast bowlers in history,[2] and bowled with great control, conceding less than two runs per over.[3] Only three post war bowlers have a superior bowling average.[4] Davidson was known for his anticipation in close catching positions and his accurate and strong throwing arm from the outfield.[5] His ability to take improbable close range catches saw him earn the nickname "The Claw".[6]
