[14], His son-in-law Ashley Metcalfe played cricket for Yorkshire. He was awarded the CBE for services to cricket in 1973 and made an honorary member of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). He had a realistic rather than romantic approach, and "only liked to gamble on certainties."[4]. They could not be regarded as a national Test team and the matches were given the status of 'unofficial Tests', but the runs scored and wickets taken were added to official Test statistics until it was decided by the I.C.C.
Those two matches will probably be remembered as Illingworth's finest moments as captain because they were the most famous.

Illingworth played 787 first-class matches over nearly 33 years.

Ray Illingworth was born on June 8, 1932 in Pudsey, Yorkshire, England as Raymond Illingworth. October is packed with great movies and several new and returning TV series. West Indies had first use of a quick but perfectly even batting wicket and made 650 at a rapid scoring rate as England's bowling attack of Willis, Arnold, Greig, Underwood and Illingworth were humiliated by Kanhai, Sobers and Bernard Julien. He retained the Ashes at home in 1972 against Ian Chappell's powerful young side with an exciting 2–2 series draw. Ray Illingworth's England side in 1970–71 were mentally the toughest English side I played against, and the experience of playing against them first up in my Test career reinforced what I had learnt in the backyard. His son-in-law Ashley also played for Yorkshire.
The 1972 series was as good and tough an Ashes series as there has been (with the possible exception of 2005). However it was for his brilliant tactics at Headingley in 1971 that he should receive most plaudits. vs. Australia, The Very Best of 'Have I Got News for You', 25 Not Out - A Cricketing Celebration of Richie Benaud's 25 BBC Years. [5]:63–64 In the Second Test against the West Indies at Lord's in 1969, England collapsed to 61–5, but the new skipper made a forceful 113 out of the last 155 runs and became a hero.
After announcing his retirement from the first-class game in 1978 he returned to Headingley to manage the Yorkshire team, despite his testy relationship with Geoff Boycott.
Eventually he became the chairman of England's Board of Test Selectors and the England cricket coach in 1997. He clashed with England captain Mike Atherton over team selection. (He is not, however, related to fellow Yorkshire cricketer Richard Illingworth, as has sometimes been incorrectly reported.
Ray Illingworth's glittering reputation as a cricket strategist was unfortunately compromised by his three-year stint as chairman of selectors, which came when he had nothing to gain in public esteem.
Illingworth captained England in 31 Test matches, winning 12, losing 5 and drawing 14. Illingworth only discovered this when he was asked for a comment by a journalist in the morning and the rest of the team when they read the newspapers at the airport.
The only surprise was that they managed to win one game and almost won two others against what was arguably the strongest Test team ever assembled. [8]:88 As a result, Illingworth effectively took over the running of the tour with the support of the players and Clark's influence declined.[8]:94–95. He built up a tremendous team spirit which stood us in good stead on numerous occasions',[8]:80 and they tended to close ranks and treat the opposition, umpires, press and public as the enemy, an attitude that became prevalent amongst Test teams in the 1970s.[9]. When the team returned to England, Illingworth said that "all hell would break loose" if anyone was denied his good conduct bonus (as with Fred Trueman in the West Indies in 1953–54),[13] but this did not happen.
He is an actor, known for Heartbeat (1992), Test Match Cricket (1938) and BBC TV Cricket (1963).
As of 2015[update], he is one of only nine players to have taken 2,000 wickets and made 20,000 runs in first-class cricket. Illingworth captained England for five seasons (1969–1973) and this was a very successful period in English Cricket. A furious Illingworth said he would not return until the playing area had been cleared and the crowd had calmed down and objected to Clark constantly siding with the Australians against his own team.
He sent down 408 balls without reward in the three Tests against New Zealand in 1973 but conceded only 1.91 runs an over in his Test career.
The side won the Sunday League in his final season in 1983 but failed in the championship, finishing bottom for the first time ever.
[4] This record was not recognised at the time as the games against the Rest of the World XI were counted as Test matches and was subsequently equalled by Clive Lloyd's West Indies in 1981–84.
The most damaging example was his refusal to let Mike Atherton have Alec Stewart, rather than Illy's choice Jack Russell, keeping wicket in the 1996 World Cup. Test cricket was not for the faint of heart. Clark had been the amateur captain of Kent in 1949–51 and was described by Illingworth as "an amiable, but somewhat ineffectual man",[12] and there were soon divisions between him and the players. Alan Knott pulled off a miraculous stumping off Norman Gifford (Asif the batsman) and again Illingworth's bowling changes just as they had two years earlier resulted in wickets – including the key wicket of Sadiq – c&b by Basil D'Oliveira.
