Top 5 Australian all-rounders of all time

#3 Warwick Armstrong

Nicknamed the "Big Ship", Warwick Windridge Armstrong was a larger than life character both on and off the field. Armstrong was a giant on the field, and his number with both bat and ball has become synonymous with his imposing size.

In 50 matches, Armstrong scored 2863 runs with an average of 38.68. This included 6 centuries and 8 half-centuries. With the ball, big Armstrong picked up 87 wickets at an average of 33.59.

He could bowl right-arm seam, but could easily switch to leg-breaks if the surface and match situation demanded.

Armstrong captained Australia in ten Test matches between 1920 and 1921, and won eight Tests and drew two. Overall, he scored more than 16,000 runs and picked up more than 800 wickets in 269 first-class matches.

To honour his contributions, he was posthumously inducted into Australian cricket's Hall of Fame in 2000.
