KEITH MILLER’S SCG LIFE MEMBER’S BADGE, 9ct gold, with “Sydney Cricket & Sports Ground Trust/ Life Member” on front, and engraved on reverse “Keith Miller MBE” , in original presentation case. With Keith Miller collection certificate. Provenance: The Keith Miller Collection, Charles Leski Auctions, March 2007 , Lot 149. A member of the Invincibles, at the time of his retirement from Test cricket in 1956, Miller had the best statistics of any all- rounder in cricket history. He often batted high in the order, sometimes as high as number three. He was a powerful striker of the ball, and one straight six that he hit at the Sydney Cricket Ground was still rising when it hit the upper deck of the grandstand. Miller was famous for varying his bowling to bemuse batsmen: he made sparing use of slower deliveries and would often adjust his run-up, surprisingly bowling his fastest deliveries from a short run. He was also a fine fielder and an especially acrobatic catcher in the slips.�������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� $1,250–1,500 115.
