Tricky one, but Trumper. Australia's biggest cricket legend pre-Bradman, and up there with Bradman, Miller, Warne and Benaud overall IMO.

Preliminary Round, Battle 11
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.
Romesh Kaluwitharana (wicketkeeper, revolutionized one-day batting with his opening partnership with Jayasuriya)
Les Ames (wicketkeeper, considered the geatest wicketkeeper-batsman, later manager and selector)
This battle will close after 6 hours (or earlier if it's one-sided IMO) with a lead of at least 5. Otherwise, it will close after 12 hours.
