Biography: Keith Miller was an Australian cricketer and World War II veteran. He is renowned as one of the greatest all-rounders in cricket history. He gained prominence on the international stage as part of the legendary Invincibles team.

Miller developed a strong cricketing technique early on, influenced by his father's passion for the game and mentored by Bill Woodfull at Melbourne High School. He exhibited talent in cricket and Australian rules football, the latter of which he played for St Kilda in the Victorian Football League.

During World War II, Miller served as a pilot in the Royal Australian Air Force. He also played for the RAAF and Australian Services teams.

After the war, Miller's cricket career flourished. He became known for his entertaining play style and was a key player in the Invincibles' undefeated tour of England in 1948.

While Miller never captained Australia in a Test match, he was a successful leader for New South Wales, known for his unorthodox and charismatic leadership. Off the field, he was an aficionado of horseracing and enjoyed socializing, maintaining a modest demeanor despite his fame.

Miller retired from international cricket in 1956, and was later inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame and the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.
