Gods or Flannelled Fools? That was the title of Keith Miller’s autobiography published in the 1950s. Sorry to hear of his death. I gather he leaned very much to the latter, which meant he didn’t get on well with the god-like Don or the rest of the Oz cricketing establishment. Despite that, my recollection is that he recognized Bradman’s supreme skill with the bat. Miller himself, qualitative factors aside, was the second-greatest all-rounder of all-time. Qualitative factors almost certainly fall in his favour against other contenders (but not Sobers). He competed for wickets with Lindwall, the no.2 all-time quickie to Marshall. He was known to give away his wicket when nothing was at stake, so his batting average is undoubtedly understated. A more detailed all-rounder analysis will appear later but, to repeat, this weekend saw the passing of a very great cricketer and, by all accounts, a convivial human being. Bradmetrics salutes Keith Miller’s memory!
