Hard to get to 10 for me
in no particular order

1. Keith Miller - never saw him play but he sounds like a legend to me
2. Shane Warne - most blokes hero at some point or another
3. Rod Laver - 2 grand slams
4. Margaret Court - 62 Slam titles
5. John Eales - This fella pissed me off more than any other - a born winner and a nice bloke. Prick
6. Dermott Brereton - so many good quotes as well "That kick was absolutely unique, except for the one before it which was identical."
7. Adam Gilchrist - an absolute joy to watch
8. Black Caviar - can I throw her in?


Seriously can not get to 10 tonight.

Jeff Fenech
Benny Elias - for that State of Origin he played covered in blood with the bandage around his head and then cuddled his mum and she was now covered in blood also. Beautiful.
Jamie Mitchell
Simon Anderson
Jonathan Thurston
Occy
Don Bradman

Lots of the ones as above also.

I admire anyone who has taken the supreme concentration to dedicate so much time to become amazing good at anything be it art, sport, music, work.
