Keith Miller's Test career batting performances

Trumble's contribution to Australian cricket was recognised by a host of awards during his lifetime and posthumously. One of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1897, Trumble was also named in the Melbourne Cricket Club Team of the Century in 2001 and with Alan Davidson he was inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame in 2004.[1]

In 32 Tests, Trumble took 141 wickets at an average of just over 20 runs per wicket. He took 5 wickets in an innings on nine occasions and 10 wickets in a match three times.[2] On retirement, he had taken more wickets in Test cricket than any other player; a record he held for nearly ten years until surpassed by Sydney Barnes.[3] While mainly a bowler, Trumble batted well enough to make 851 runs in Test cricket at an average of 19.79 and a highest score of 70.[2] Trumble was also prolific at first-class level. He took 929 wickets, including 5 wickets in an innings on 69 occasions and as a batsman, he made 5,395 runs with three centuries and a highest score of 107.[2] For Melbourne Cricket Club, he took just under 400 wickets and scored more than 3,000 runs; winning the club best bowling average on six occasions and the best batting average once.

Trumble was particularly effective in England. After taking 52 wickets on his first tour of England in 1890, his other four visits to England—in 1890, 1893, 1896 and 1899—saw him take over 100 wickets in first-class matches. In 1899, he scored 1,183 runs making him one of only four Australians, with George Giffen, Warwick Armstrong (both three times) and Jack Gregory, to take over 100 wickets and make over 1,000 runs on a tour of England.

The ICC player rankings have been applied retrospectively to cricket history and Trumble achieved the top ranking as a bowler. By June 1896, he was ranked fifth in the world and never again slipped lower than this; from 1899 until his retirement he was the first or second best bowler in the world according to the ratings.[4]

Trumble was the first player to take two hat-tricks in Test cricket. Both hat-tricks were taken against England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where Trumble played his club cricket. Hat-tricks are extremely rare; in over 131 years of Test cricket to March 2008, there had only been 37 Test hat-tricks and only two other players had taken two—Jimmy Matthews and Wasim Akram.

[edit] Warwick Armstrong intro

Warwick Windridge Armstrong ( born 22 May 1879 in Kyneton, Victoria - 13 July 1947 in Darling Point, New South Wales) was an Australian cricketer who played 50 Test matches between 1902 and 1921. An all-rounder, he captained Australia for ten Test matches between 1920 and 1921 and was undefeated, winning eight Tests and drawing two. Armstrong was captain of the the 1920–1921 Australian team that defeated the touring English team 5–0; one of only two teams to win an Ashes series in a whitewash. In a career that was interrupted by the First World War he scored 2,863 runs at an average of 38.68, including six centuries and took 87 wickets. He was inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame in 2000.

Armstrong was a large man; (6 ft 3 in tall and 1.9 metres and 21 stones - 133 kg or 294 lb) and was known as the "Big Ship". He was not a stylish batsman but his strokeplay was effective, with a sound defence and temperament. He bowled leg spin with a gentle action and while not a big turner of the ball, he relied on his accuracy to dismiss his opponents. He made his Test début in 1902 against England at the MCG and was selected to tour England later that year and was named as one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year. That was the first of four tours of England. He was involved in several altercations with cricket administrators and was one of the "Big Six" who boycotted the 1912 Triangular Tournament in England after a dispute with the Australian Board of Control for for International Cricket Matches.

A talented Australian rules footballer, Armstrong briefly represented South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League before playing Test cricket. He was employed as a pavillion clerk by the Melbourne Cricket Club for much of his cricket career, allowing him time to play cricket. Following his retirement from Test and first-class cricket after the successful 1921 tour of England, Armstrong took a position as an agent for a scotch whisky distributor and wrote on cricket for the Sydney Evening News.
