Round of 64, Battle 29
We shall define a legend of cricket on the basis of the following criteria:
- An influential figure who made a significant impact on the way the game is played on the field.
- An influential figure who remained involved in and made significant contributions to the game off the field.
- A hero or an icon who served as an inspiration for others (cricketers as well as the general public) and will be remembered for years to come.
- Remember that a legend is defined not merely by cricket records but also by aura, impact and legacy.
Battle 29
Wilfred Rhodes (all-rounder, most prolific FC bowler ever)
versus
Tony Greig (all-rounder, "grovel", later commentator, "mail-order bride")
This battle will close after 12 hours (or earlier if it's a no contest IMO) with a lead of at least 5. Otherwise, it will close after 24 hours.

) but Rhodes is the greatest FC wicket-taker of all-time and went from No 11 to sharing in England's highest Ashes opening stand so that's reason enough for voting for him anyway. PS - I voted for Miller in the last battle - don't damn all us Brits for being biased!
