Description:Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 70.

He was also a fine fielder and an especially acrobatic catcher in the slips. Away from cricket, Miller was also a successful Australian rules footballer. He played for St Kilda and was selected to represent the Victorian state team. He played 50 games for St Kilda, for whom he kicked eight goals in one game against North Melbourne, during 1941. Miller's personality-love of the contest, rather than victory, and his larger-than-life rebelliousness and carousing-helped both shape and limit his cricketing career, as he espoused the opposite of the more puritanical val...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
