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 31
Arjuna Ranatunga (batsman, captained SL to a World Cup victory, memorable incident with Ian Healy, other controversy)
versus
Rahul Dravid (batsman, India's best #3 batsman ever, epic innings at Kolkata and Adelaide, later captain)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Battle 32
Doug Walters (batsman, several fables and stories ...)
versus
Neville Cardus (legendary cricket writer)
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.
