The Little Ship

The Little Ship In a not dissimilar piece to that concerning Archie Jackson, in this feature Martin looks at the equally short life of another very promising young Australian batsman, Karl Schneider.

A pleasure to read, as ever.

I'm very much of a dilettante where it comes to cricket's history, admittedly, but I'd truthfully never even heard of the unfortunate Schneider before.

Kid wouldn't have blown over in the wind tho, would he? His feet look as big as Warwick's in the photo!

My apologies for somehow posting a first draft of this rather than the finished article - hopefully it reads rather better now!
