Melbourne (Australia), Oct. 11. (AP): Australian cricket great, Keith Miller, an all-rounder on Donald Bradman's Invincibles team that toured England unbeaten in 1948, has died at the age of 84, his family said Monday. Miller, voted vice-captain of Australia's 'dream' team of the last century in 2000, died Monday at a nursing home on the Mornington Peninsula south of Melbourne. Bradman died in February 2001. Miller played 55 tests for Australia, scoring 2,958 runs at an average of 36.97 and claiming 170 wickets at 22.97 after making his debut in 1945-46. He and fellow fast bowler, Ray Lindwall, formed a winning partnership to dominate the Australian bowling lineup in the immediate period after World War II. A gifted sportsman, he played 50 Australian Rules football games for the Melbourne team St. Kilda in Australia's premier league and represented Victoria state in 1946. Miller was also a World War II fighter pilot. He is survived by wife, Marie. Funeral arrangements are incomplete.
