Miller is the man

In his Sunday Telegraph column, Mike Atherton believes that Geoff Miller is the ideal candidate to take the new position as England's national selector. He says that Miller strikes the right balance between experience and profile.

Quite who will select those to select the selectors is not clear, but in any case there are three good men to choose from - Graveney, Gooch and, if he decides the moolah on offer can make up for his after-dinner speaking during winter, Geoff Miller, who has been a selector now for half a dozen years or more. I don't see the need to look elsewhere. My own preference, albeit not a particularly strong one, is for Miller. I have been enormously impressed by the way he has conducted himself.
