Brian McMillan was a handy all-rounder

Brian McMillan played a vital role for South Africa post their re-admission to the game in the year 1991. He made rapid strides in international cricket in the mid 1990s and won South African Cricket Annual Cricketer of the year 1991 and 1996.

He would have interested a few franchises in IPL cricket as he was a handy batsman lower down the order and also bowled with pace. He was an excellent fielder too and has taken many catches at slip for South Africa with is bucket hands.

In 52 ODI innings, the all-rounder has scored 841 runs at an average of 23.36 and a strike rate of 73.19. He came in to bat on most occasions at the end of the innings and provided finishing touches to the innings. He has 70 ODI wickets too to his credit at an average of 36.99.

He would have succeeded in the T20 format as it would have suited his style of cricket. He was indeed an important player in the South African team in the 1990s and guided them to many victories and made them a formidable team in Tests as well as ODIs.
