“Keith Miller is the most spectacular personality in the world of cricket.  The devil-may-care Mosquito night fighter pilot who first played for Australia against England in 1945, for the Services Team has a personal dynamism that divides even his admirers.  He is the world record-holding Test all-rounder as bowler and batsman.  But for his skill with the bat, it is said, he might have been the greatest bowler of all time.
If he did not concentrate on bowling, assert the opposition, he might have been the greatest batsman of all time.  The debate continues.”
