Neither have been retired long enough to achieve that status.
:-O Gower last played in 1992...besides there's nothing in the criteria about being retired (or Warne and McGrath wouldn't qualify :))

oh yeah, Gower for his tiger moth exploits...

UPDATE: Waqar 4, Gower 2, SS BS 1

Round ends when I wake up, that's roughly 6-7 hours. Keep the votes coming.

Preliminary Round, Battle 19

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.


Gideon Haigh (journalist)



Richard Hadlee (fast bowling all-rounder, later chairman of selectors)



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.

Rounds going too fast, imo. Whats the rush?
We have 64 battles to get through in the preliminary round. That's why. Once we narrow it down to 64 (from 128), I'll have the standard (longer) duration for each battle.

Hadlee. Haigh is my favourite cricket author, but he's certainly not a legend of the game and would be embarrassed to have been nominated I think...
