Miandad and Border.
Reason I mention Miandad is because [SS mode] he has been retired for some time now and contributed to cricket for quite a bit after retirement [/SS]. Another reason being that he, along with Imran and a few others, changed the way Pakistanis perceived cricket. Without them it'd probably be as popular as soccer in Pakistan.

Preliminary Round, Battles 27 and 28
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.
Battle 27
Jim Laker (off-spinner, took 19 for 90 vs. Australia, later commentator)
versus
Greg Chappell (batsman, captain, "underarm" incident, later ACB official and Indian coach)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Battle 28
Fazal Mahmood (fast bowler, first Pakistani world-class seamer)
versus
Keith Miller (all-rounder, considered Australia's greatest all-rounder)
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.
