A lower-order batsman and opening bowler, Miller played seven matches for Jamaica between 1950–51 and 1953–54, and was selected for the Fourth Test against India in Georgetown in 1952–53, replacing Gerry Gomez. Batting at number eight and trying to score quick runs, he strained his back going for a big hit and was unable to bowl in the Indian second innings.[1] Gomez returned for the Fifth Test. Miller's only first-class score higher than the 23 he made in his one Test innings was 86 for Jamaica against British Guiana in 1952–53,[2] and his best bowling was 3 for 65 against Barbados in 1951–52.[3]
