Ian Botham vs Keith Miller

[DrWolverine]

Botham remains the only cricketer to take 10+ centuries and 10+ 5-Fers.

Keith Miller played 55 test matches and took an impressive 7 5-Fers and 7 centuries and his averages are similar to Imran Khan.

 

[Johan]

Miller is a competitor for Imran, not Botham.

If we take 150+ wickets and 2500 runs as a criteria, only 3 cricketers have an average of 35+ with the bat and less than 25 with the ball.
Imran Khan.
Keith Miller.

Guess the other one.

Hope this changes.

You want him to average 70+ with and under 12.5 with ball???

I would place Miller exactly at middle of Imran and Botham. His bowling workload is just not there.

 

[Johan]

Hope this changes.

why? the idea of someone who averages 36/24 not being picked in England gives me good agenda material.

 

[DrWolverine]

Hope this changes.

Why?

Yeah he's unlucky to play alongside both Miller and Johnston, Reckon I rate him as a Botham tier batter and a sub 25 Pacer.

His bowling workload was even higher in tests than FC. In FC he bowled about as much as Kallis did in tests.

Has a batting workload/output that matched Kallis' in FC cricket too.

 

[Johan]

anyone mind checking the average number of balls Miller and the 80s Quaret bowled every inning?

Miller :
125 balls per first class match
190 balls per test match

Was pretty much a batting all-rounder in FC imo.

What's the point of all the Botham comparison threads when obviously CW doesn't rate him at all. You could put up a Botham vs Chris Woakes thread and he'd still lose on CW

Tbf Bradman will lose to Chris Woakes (as he should)
