Australian Keith Miller, rated one of cricket's greatest and crowdpleasing all-rounders, died here on Monday aged 84, a family spokesman said.
Miller, who played in Don Bradman's Invincibles team on the 1948 tour to England, passed away peacefully at a nursing home on the Mornington Peninsula south of Melbourne, the spokesman said.
He was a magnificent attacking batsman, averaging almost 37 in 55 Tests and claimed 170 wickets at 22.97.
Miller made his Test debut in 1946-47 against New Zealand and retired after the 1956 tour to England.
As an aggressive middle-order batsman, Miller was one of the game's biggest hitters and thrilled crowds with his dashing play.
With his matinee-idol looks, flowing mop of black hair and audacious talent, Miller was a favourite of cricket fans around the world.
Miller had the perfect riposte when asked if he ever felt under pressure on the cricket field.
"Pressure, I'll tell you what pressure is," he said. "Pressure is a Messerschmitt up your arse, playing
cricket is not," he said in reference to his flying combat experience in World War II.
"He was the finest all-rounder I came into contact with -- he could bat, bowl, field and he could fly an

aeroplane," Australia's oldest Test cricketer Bill Brown said Monday.
"You could bat him anywhere you want to, he was a strong hitter of the ball, he had a very good pair of hands -especially in close -- andyou could always give him the new ball with confidence."
Miller is one of only three Australian cricketers, along with Bradman and Victor Trumper, to be honoured with a portrait in the Lord's Long Room in London.
He was named at No.6 in Australia's cricket team of the 20th century and made his last public appearance at the unveiling of a statue in his honour at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in February.
"Keith Miller was a genuine legend, a man whose dashing approach helped cricket regain its place in the public affection after the dark years of World War II," Cricket Australia chairman Bob Merriman said in a statement.
"He was one of those rare athletes who could turn a game with bat, ball or with animpossible catch.
"But more important, he was a man who understood that the game, great as it is, is just a game, and he played it that way."
A gifted all-round sportsman, Miller played 50 Victorian Football League (now AFL) games for St. Kilda and represented Victoriain 1946.
After retiring from cricket, Miller spent 20 years as the cricket correspondent for London's Daily Express and received an MBE for his services to the sport.
His wife Marie was with him when he passed away.
He would have been 85 next month.
