About Craig McMillan
Craig Douglas McMillan (born 13 September 1976) is a New Zealand cricket coach and former international cricketer who played all forms of the game. He was a right-handed batsman and useful right-arm medium pace bowler who played for Canterbury in New Zealand first-class cricket. He also played English county cricket for Hampshire and Gloucestershire County Cricket Clubs. McMillan was a member of the New Zealand team that won the 2000 ICC KnockOut Trophy. He was the New Zealand batting coach and has worked in the media as a commentator for Sky Network Television and Star Cricket. == Playing style == His batting was often characterised by innovation and improvisation, notably with a "square on" stance, which he sometimes uses in One-day Internationals when he is premeditating a big hit to the legside. His medium pace bowling is characterised by an extremely high proportion of bouncers – highly belligerent for a part-time medium pace bowler. == International career == McMillan made his Test debut in 1997 against world champions Australia aged 22. At the Basin Reserve in 1998–99 he was part of a 137-run 6th wicket second innings partnership with Chris Cairns which won them the 2nd Test against India. Earlier in the year he had scored his highest Test score, 142 against Sri Lanka at R. Premadasa Stadium.
