FameRank: 6

"Keith Ross Miller", was an Australian Test cricketer and a Royal Australian Air Force pilot during World War II. Miller is widely regarded as Australia's greatest ever all-rounder. Because of his ability, irreverent manner and good looks he was a crowd favourite. English journalist Ian Wooldridge called Miller "the golden boy" of cricket, leading to his being nicknamed "Gold nugget/Nugget". He "was more than a cricketer ... he embodied the idea that there was more to life than cricket".

A member of the record-breaking Australian cricket team in England in 1948/Invincibles, at the time of his retirement from Test cricket in 1956, Miller had the best statistics of any all-rounder in cricket history. He often batted high in the Batting order (cricket)/order, sometimes as high as number three. He was a powerful striker of the ball, and one straight six (cricket)/six that he hit at the Sydney Cricket Ground was still rising when it hit the upper deck of the grandstand. Miller was famous for varying his bowling (cricket)/bowling to bemuse batsmen: he made sparing use of slower deliveries and would often adjust his run-up, surprisingly bowling his fastest deliveries from a short run. He was also a fine fielding (cricket)/fielder and an especially acrobatic catcher in the slips (cricket)/slips.

It's more about skill level than the raw numbers of these kids.

We're looking forward to that. Hopefully after last weekend, the kids will understand the importance of team play as opposed to individual play–playing your position and taking your runs.

We know what we can do. This team has plenty of talent and potential; now it's up to us to just go out there and continue to make a name for ourselves.

The hallmark of a U.S. education is critical thinking. So the mission of this office is not just to have schools for U.S. citizens but to have models of education for others. It's a twofold thing.

The knowledge of God is far from the love of Him.

Her level of consistency is unmatched. We look for Jennifer to continue to set the pace for the team as she transitions into the leadership position that comes with being an upperclassman.

It's not like the maturity of a basketball or football player who learns systems and things like that. Shooters do progress during school, but if they come in as good shooters they can immediately be a top-five shooter, and that's not unheard of at all.
