Lara the only current player to make it to the quaterfinals. Quite surprised by that. I thought Warne was a lock for making it this far when the thread was started. Would easily take Warne over Boycott from this list.

Cricket Web: All-Time Legend
I'd take Ronnie Irani over that bloke, shocking batsman to watch, and even more shocking to listen to. That's even forgetting certain problems with his private life.
It just proves what I've always said "democracy is wrong".

Just about everyone who ever knew Boycott, said that he might get angry, but never pysically hurt anyone, and I believe him tbh.

Quarterfinal Round
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.
First Quarterfinal
Garry Sobers (all-rounder, considered as the greatest all-round cricketer ever, hit six sixes in an over)
versus
Brian Lara (batsman, all-time leading run-scorer, highest individual test innings)
This battle will close after 24 hours.
