Preliminary Round, Battles 29 and 30

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 29

Wilfred Rhodes (all-rounder, most prolific FC bowler ever)



versus

Len Hutton (batsman, averaged 57 in test cricket)


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Battle 30

Curtly Ambrose (fast bowler, historic spell of 7 for 1 against Australia)



versus

Erapalli Prasanna (off-spinner, the master of flight)



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.

Hutton and Ambrose.

EDIT: haha I thought there was a large black dog on the field behind Prasanna
