Firstly kudos for taking on a very difficult task which you have obviously put a lot of thought into.
However, I am still trying to understand your criteria. Have you taken into account what you think of them as people as well as performers for example?
Some specifics:
1. You have rated Gilchrist and Ponting very high (both of which I agree with), but left out Warne and McGrath altogether. I would have those two in the top 10.
2. For mine Susie O’Neill is by far your biggest omission. A personal favourite of mine so I am probably biased, but I would have her close to top 10 also.
3. No golfers in your list. I think solid cases could be made for Greg Norman and Adam Scott. Is golf just a sport you don’t rate, or did these two just ‘miss the cut’?
From those on your list I think Cadel Evans is your most under sold - top 5 for me, and I would never have even considered Erin Phillips, but you have already explained your rankings of those two in detail.
Anyway, well done as I said, there are some worthy inclusions I would have forgotten.
