Miller was one of the first pin-up boys of cricket and a very popular figure worldwide. He was a brilliant all-rounder as well and very few could actually match him in terms of cricketing abilities. He was a very good fast bowler capable of troubling batsmen with his short-pitched stuff. He also remained a good middle-order batsman and played many memorable knocks for Australia.
The Australian played 55 Tests and scored 2958 runs at 37. He also took 170 wickets at an average of 23. His batting and bowling averages are still enviable by any standard. He also possessed a great cricketing brain and was an indispensable part of Bradman’s invincibles, who did not lose any match in their 1948 tour to England. Miller is definitely among the greatest all-rounders in the history of the game and there can not be any all-time Australian team without him.
