Bit weak? How many more world champions from different sports do you want?
Button, Ennis, Haye, Daley, Tweddle, Phillips all World Champions. Strauss regained the Ashes and was leading run scorer in the series with the highest individual score. Cav won 6 stages in the TdF and the champagne stage on the C.E. something no other Brit has done before, let alone win 6 stages, only 2 I think below the record.
Murray. Meh. Let me know when he wins a Major.
Giggs...well lets be honest, there aint much more he can do is there?

I really hope Ennis gets it ahead of Button, not wanting to get into argument but I just don't believe he is a 'sportsman' in the same league as Ennis. Yes you have to be fit to be an F1 driver but I doubt it is quite at the same level as being a world champion athlete...
I think there are far more outside factors contributing to Button winning a race then their is on the athletics track/field imo.
All the people are deserved though, I also think Beth Tweddle should do well, as an ex-gymnast I know the level that they train at to be anywhere near elite.

Button will win it simply through profile and the British F1 fanbase.
I reckon Giggs actually deserves it as someone how has been on top of his game for ever and has won everything he could domestically.
Strauss will win via the team of the year - surely the cricket team are a shoe in for that!
Suppose Haye could be an outsider, but he seems to split opinion on the liking stakes!!!

Murray's had probably his best year in his life, but it can't beat Button.
Tom Daley, Beth Tweddle?? Not even close.
Murray may have had the best year of his life but he has won nothing of note.Tom Daley, Beth Tweddle?? Not even close.
Beth Tweddle and Tom Daley are both world champions, exceptional world champions in sports that don’t receive a lot of funding.

lifting one of these maybe 
The series fluctuated with each Test, the lead exchanged hands. There were drawn tests going to the last ball, fingertip survivals and moments of inspirational magic.
Flintoff on one knee was as much an image as him consoling Lee from the 05 series.
The difference was Sky tv this time around.
