Battle of the Australians

[Slifer]

Yeah and a pretty great allrounder at that. So Miller it is. Though I still think Mcgrath is one of the 3 greatest pacemen of all time.

 

[aussie]

Tight one, i'll go Miller

Keith Miller

Miller - the pressure quote does it for me...

Well then, according to the posters of Cricket Web, the second greatest Australian to have worn the baggy green is, by 16 votes to 8:

Keith Miller

Test: 55 matches, 2958 runs @ 36.97, 7 100s, 13 50s | 170 wickets @ 22.97, 7 5-fers, 1 10-fer

Many thanks to all who voted

 

[Dravid]

McGrath should have won.

 

[nightprowler10]

Ah well, such is democracy. Just a note: I do believe Miller deserved to win ahead of McGrath, but probably shouldn't have won the whole thing.

 

[Matt79]

I thought Miller or Warne should win. McGrath deserved to get to the last 8, and would have done well, in my book to get to the final four.

 

[Johnners]

Dissapointed Waugh didn't get into the last 4

 

[PhoenixFire]

McGrath should have won.

No he shouldn't have, Miller was the right choice imo.

 

[Perm]

Wait until McGrath and Warne retire, and then you will see how valuable they were to Australia. I still think Keith Miller was the right choice, great speech on pressure.

 

[R_D]

Yeah i think Keith Miller was right choice out of the 2 too
Great cricketer.

 

[Slats4ever]

[nightprowler10]

I agree that Miller was the right choice. Thanks to nightprowler as well for running the battle.

 

[Mister Wright]

Is Warne bowling left handed in that picture?

Haha, looks like it. How weird.
