Keith Miller Passes Away

Keith "Nugget" Miller, the magnificent Australian all-rounder who also played Aussie Rules for St Kilda and served as a pilot in World War 2, has passed away. He would have been 85 next month.

As a player, his record speaks for itself. However, as these reports show, his legacy extends well beyond his achievements on the cricket field.

I have only had the benefit of hearing of his deeds second-hand, but it seems that Miller typified the spirit of enjoying cricket as a game rather than a battle of life and death. Miller knew a thing or two about that.
