The Wheel is Forever
Come on, lets get the Ranji brigade in here. Sorry for starting the flood of Ranji votes but IMO its too early to annoint anyone post about 1970-1975 a legend. He is just too fresh in people's minds. A couple decades have to pass and if the aura still exists, then you can annoint them a legend.

Preliminary Round, Battle 15
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.
Sarfraz Nawaz (fast bowler, pioneer of reverse swing)
John Buchanan (coach, delivered lectures and recited poetry in the Australian dressing room)
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.

Nawaz, so what happened to the last battle?

The Wheel is Forever
So, who won?
Anyway, I have no idea. Can I vote for "neither"? But I don't see how a coach can be a legend unless he was someone like Lombardi.
So I'll go for Nawaz pretty much by default.
