Ray Bright is a former Australian Test and One Day International cricketer from Victoria. He was a left arm spin bowler and lower order batsman who captained Victoria for a number of seasons. He was also an Australian vice-captain.
 
Arguably his finest moment in international cricket came in the famous tied Test in Madras against India in 1986, when he took 5 for 94 in India's second innings. He also captained Australia in one match, his final One Day International appearance for his country, against Pakistan in April 1986.
 
Bright played 25 Tests and 11 ODIs plus 15 Supertests for the Australian XI during World Series Cricket in 1977–78 and 1978–79, taking 42 wickets at an average of 29 against the West Indies and World XI.
 
Bright was selected on a large number of Australian touring squads, including ones to New Zealand (1973–74, 1976–77, 1978, 1981–82 and 1985–86), England (1977, 1980 and 1981), the West Indies (1978–79), Pakistan (1979–80 and 1982–83), Sri Lanka (1980–81), Sharjah (1986) and India (1986–87).
 
The Australian cricket team toured India in the 1986–87 season to play a three-match Test series and a five-match one day international series against India.
 
The Test series was drawn 0-0, with one tie, and India won the one-day series 3-2. It is best remembered for the tied first Test – only the second time this result has occurred in Test cricket.
 
The Australian cricket team toured India from February to April 2001 for a three-Test series and a five-match ODI series. The series is considered one of India's finest, as they secured victory against Australia in the Test series, in the process breaking Australia's 15-match win streak in Tests and being the third side to win a Test match after being asked to follow-on during the match in Kolkata. The Kolkata match has been called by some as one of the greatest matches in the sport's history.
