Better known in other fields, but played cricket at a decent level

We have probably had similar topics in the past, but this one is specifically about those who, as the title suggests, were "better known in other fields". So, someone like Norm O'Neill who was an Australian representative baseballer wouldn't be eligible because he was best known as a cricketer. However, Wayne Reed who was better known as baseballer would be eligible.

I'm thinking the term "decent level" would include First Grade in Capital City club competition as well as First Class cricket. State representation as a youngster would also be acceptable. That could be a bit flexible.

Some of these might be surprising.

I'm not keen to include those selected as gimmicks.
