Keith Miller's actual quote about the pressure of test cricket; "Pressure? I'll tell you what pressure is.  Pressure is a Messerschmitt up your arse, playing cricket is not."

"Pressure? Pressure's a Messerschmidt up your arse, and a quarter tank of petrol left. This Cricket's easy." -Keith Miller.
The greatest player, Australia ever produced.

Miller was Crickets first Rock Star

Film star looks,what a cricketer.my brother Ron and I had a chat to him at sydney airport.unforgettable.R.I.P Keith.

I remember Keith . I already knew a lot about him, his sportsmanship and generosity are legendary, but his wartime experiences, other acts of sportsmanship, and the humanty of the man. A Corinthian, who played for the love of the game. Argueably, the greatest Australian cricketer ever; the player, and the man .

There's a chapter in the recent Aussie book 'The Quicks' about Miller. Best chapter in the book. Amazing story.

Proper legend that man

One of my favorite players, although he was before my time.

Didn't quite get to see him play but always remember his great commentary along side Norman May when the ABC used to be the telecaster of Tests. They became great mates and Norman had a way of getting Keith to come out with some great stories.

Heard and read  about the Lindwall -- Miller  quick bowling combination.  Never new that he was a fighter pilot. Ordinary men who became wartime heroes. You may not be around anymore Mr. Miller but you have my greatest admiration. Cricket has been my first love for a long time. I simply love the  game❤❤🎉🎉

Thank you for the concise and honest assessment of a great cricketer who despite his personal failures brought so much pleasure to all Australians during the wonderful cricket years of the 1940’s and 50’s

Eric Holies, not, 'Holly' !  He was the bowler who, in 1948, dismissed Bradman for a duck, when Bradman only needed four, to average 100 in Test Match averages.

Sir Keith Miller was born out of a boys own story, could do anything he put his mind to and do it well. Hurt his back in a crash landing of a Mosquito during WW2, the incident that gave him the opposite perspective to many elite sportsmen, he knew it was just a game and there were more important things in life. I suspect that was the fundamental difference he had with Sir Donald Bradman. Cricket was a game to be played but it was not life or death, he had seen death and survived to play games. His back played up from time to time and he was known to refuse Bradman's request to bowl in tests at times his back wasn't 100%. He may be the only person who could say no to Bradman without fear of losing his place in the Australian team! Now this is from my reading about them both as I knew nothing of cricket until I moved to Australia from Canada in 1977, however I played on and off from 7 to 40 when bulging disc in neck and back ended my playing days. I find cricket history fascinating!

Fun fact...he wanted to be a jockey early in his life.

Keith Miller entertained first and foremost and couldn't give a stuff about records, Sir Viv Richards decades later was the same type of cricketer, he wanted to entertain first and foremost and fans would pay the price just to see him destroy a bowling attack. Sir Vivian Richards was also driven by issues around how Caribbean cricketers of colour were treated and he was determined to show he was as good as if not better than any other cricketer of his era!

No videos?

I read that he really saw himself as a batsman who could play at Bradman's level, and hated Bradman for overusing him as a bowler which eroded his batting, and carried that grudge all his life.

He used hair oil by the bucketful and ran his hand through his hair and then his hands went on to the ball. I know that to be truth because he said it on TV ..........

How lazy is the backdrop of an American Gridiron 🏈 shot instead of an Aussie Rules shot. My only criticism of this podcast.

Why the narration on screen that doesn't match the words spoken, why does the voice over keep changing ....at one point becoming American!! I would love to like this but given we are talking Miller, I think you are dodgy as all F
