Preliminary Round, Battle 13
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.
Abdul Qadir (leg-spinner, kept the art alive throughout the 1980s, later commentator)
Alan Knott (wicketkeeper, renowned for his brilliant glovework for England)
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.

Some battle!
I want to go Ranji, for all he did to popularise the game in India. But I think, realistically, what Imran did to cement the game's standing in Pakistan ranks a little higher.
