When Neville Cardus called Keith Miller "A young eagle among crows and daws",he was not a champion playing out of his class. Len Hutton once famously saidthat Miller and Denis Compton were the two cricketers he would bequeath toschoolboys yet unborn. Ray Robinson was no less effusive in his praise. "Toyoung eyes, quickest to perceive the things that make cricket, Miller is anOlympian god among mortals," said the great Australian cricket writer."Miller was one of the most volatile cricketers of any age. He would have beena far better player had he curbed his propensity and shown more judgement in hishitting. In 1948 he was the best second slip in the world," said Don Bradman.
