Profile:
Craig
McMillan is an aggressive batsman who signalled his style when on
his Test debut, against Australia in December 1997, he hit Shane
Warne over the long-on fence for six to bring up his half-century.
McMillan is a confrontational cricketer, who loves to hit the ball
hard, and has developed his bowling to the point where he has
become a genuine one-day option. His form fluctuated throughout
last summer with success tending to come during Test innings as he
averaged 41.00 against the West Indies and 32.33 against
Australia. However a run of low scores during the one-day series
against both nations saw him left out of the side for the final
two matches of the season. The winter tour to Zimbabwe and South
Africa was also disappointing for McMillan but he seemed to
rediscover his old form in the first National Bank Series of this
summer against Zimbabwe, compiling a century in the Boxing Day
Test and smashing 75 off 53 balls while taking 2-49 with the ball
in the final ODI.
