perhaps one of the greatest cricketers ever and certainly one the greatest australian cricketers ever died last week
i put some stones content in the title as i'm sure, as avid cricket followers, both mick and charlie would be aware of the news and saddened by it
indeed, i suspect that if mick has been a life long fan of the game then miller would have been one of his "heroes" playing as he did through the '50s when mick was but a lad
keith (richards) would also perhaps be aware of him (i don't know how much of a cricket fan keith is - seems like he's more of a tennis enthusiast)as miller was not only a Test cricketer but also flew fighter planes over nazi germany during WWII
miller was a "rock and roll" type before they were invented - with an irreverant attitude to authority and an "errol flynn" (another great australian) type approach to life
