Brian McMillan: Biography, Records, Age, Height, Achievements, Family and Career Statistics

Introduction

From 1991 to 1998, South Africa’s Brian Mervin McMillan (born December 22, 1963) participated in 78 One-Day Internationals and 38 Test matches. He won the Cricket Association of South Africa’s Annual Cricketer of the Year accolades in 1991 and 1996 and was widely considered to be the best all-rounder in the world in the mid-1990s.

McMillan, a right-handed medium-pace bowler, batted right-handed as well. In South Africa’s Test cricket history, he also holds the record for the most catches made by an outfielder per Test. He was also a standout slip fielder. Beginning in 1989, he began competing for Western Province, where he finished his career in 2000. He participated in 155 matches throughout the course of his 16-year first-class career, taking 310 wickets with a top bowling average of 5/35, and produced a total of 7898 runs.

McMillan made effective use of his strong forearms. He has achieved three test hundreds and one ODI hundred and was frequently moved up the order to obtain rapid runs. He had a reputation as the “big brother” of the South African side because he was always called upon to get a wicket, make runs quickly, or sledge the opposition. Despite being a big man, McMillan was nimble in the slip cordon and had the highest catch rate for an outfielder per test. In 2000, he gave up playing cricket altogether and switched to teaching full-time at the University of Durban. He currently runs an office automation business in Cape Town.
