Famous Cricketer: Death Of Warwick Armstrong
(Rec. 2 p.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. The death has occurred of Warwick Windridge Armstrong, the famous Australian test cricketer, who died at his home at Darling Point road, at the age of 68. Some cricketers maintain he was Australia’s greatest test captain. Others rank him as second only to the late M. A. Noble. “If not the greatest captain, he was probably the most picturesque,” says the Herald. “He weighed 20st when he captained Australia in England in 1921 and headed the bowling averages.” Armstrong toured England with four Austalian teams and played in 42 tests against England.
