Preliminary Round, Battles 45 and 46
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 45
Reginald Brooks (coined The Ashes)
versus
Allan Donald (fast bowler, "white lightning", later commentator)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Battle 46
Fred Spofforth (fast bowler, considered the greatest fast bowler of the 19th century)
versus
Fred Trueman (fast bowler, first to 300 wickets, later columnist and speaker)
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.
