The Big Ship, Warwick Armstrong and the Making of Modern Cricket
Warwick Armstrong was a colossus of a
man - at one stage weighing 140 kilograms bound in a six-foot frame - and his footprint on Australian cricket was correspondingly large. During a first class career that spanned almost 25 years he accumulated more than 16000 runs and 800 wickets. In fact, so prominent was Armstrong’s presence in Australian cricket that it was once proposed by English writer Sir Neville Cardus that Australian cricket was ‘incarnate in him.’ A book review
by Barry Nicholls that gives us some insight into The Big Ship.
