WARWICK ARMSTRONG DEAD: PICTURESQUE AUSTRALIAN CRICKETER

Some .cricketers maintain that he was Australia’s greatest test captain, and others rank • him second only to the late M. A. Noble. “If not the greatest captain, he was probably the most picturesque,”, .says the ‘Sydney Herald’. “He weighed 20st when he captained Australia in England in 1921 and headed the bowling averages.” He toured England with four Australian teams and played in 42 tests against England.
