Just one of those gifted few who excel at all sports. Dennis Compton, the England batsman also excelled at football. Being more aware of Australian sportsmen, Victor Richardson was a test cricket captain, captained the South Australian Aussie Rules side, played top level tennis and golf. Ray Lindwall opened the bowling for Australia and first grade rugby league (the Second World War finished his league career), Keith Miller also played AFL for Victoria as well as his cricket. And obviously Bradman: cricket, tennis and golf all at high levels.
With cricket now being a virtual year long sport, we don't see players appearing in other sports now, the last I canremember was Graeme Hughes who played Sheffield Shield and rugby league for NSW.
