Benaud (for his commentary), Lillee (for being a heartthrob)
Ambrose (I have a crush on him :wub:), Sutcliffe (stats to die for, yet very underrated)
Kumble (Tireless performer), Inzamam (inspires awe and laughter at the same time)
Yuvraj (thanks for the 2 world cups, mate), Warne (gem of guy, great exponent of spin)
Hutton (perfectionist), Mankad (some magnificent all-round feats that many are not aware of)

Richie, because he's part of the fabric of the game and Lillee - wac but a great bowler and entertainer

Curtley the Magnificent and Herbert Sutcliffe who deserves a loftier reputation than he has

Third is tricky because I'm a great fan of Inzi but can't ignore Bert Sutcliffe and that iconic image of him batting against South Africa with the bandage on his head, and Chub Tate, cos he was a great cricketer and Mr Z will be disappointed in me if I don't

Warne because I like him even though I shouldn't and Mike Hussey for giving England a game in the Ashes last winter

Eddie Paynter because he's a Lanky lad, and Len Hutton for being the greatest, even if he did come from the wrong side of the Pennines
