I think the consensus is probably Miller bowled a fair bit quicker than Stokes but their approach with the bat is pretty similar I’d say

Miller's career strike rate was still only 43. He slowed down dramatically through his career from what I can discern. Realistically, not sure he bowled any quicker than Stokes' fastest either.

Wasn’t my point, but sure. He’s often criticised for his WPM. My point was, he was an elite quick. Even if his average or SR blew out a few points, he’d still be elite.

Ya, sure. He was awesome, and still would have been if his averages were blown out by a few points. That is not in question.

The OP was specifically about whether the low WPM would have impacted his average though

Kallis miles ahead as batsman
Miller comfortably ahead as bowler
Equally good as fielders.

Miller had more style
Kallis had durability

Kallis for your life.
Miller for your spirits.

If Kallis opened the bowling and Miller was 4th or 5th bowler then their bowling averages would probably be a lot closer.

Batting averages might be closer too.

International Regular
Miller was named after two pioneer Australian pilots - Keith and Ross Smith.

He was a fighter pilot himself in the Second World War, and had some extremely close shaves.

Miller had an unusual approach to captaincy, sometimes setting his field by telling the other players "scatter".

On one occasion, having omitted to nominate a 12th man, he found himself with 12 players on the field. He observed: "Well, one of you had better bugger off."
