Preliminary Round, Battles 47 and 48
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 47
Brian Statham (fast bowler)
versus
VVS Laxman (batsman, superb timing, 281 at Eden Gardens)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Battle 48
Clarrie Grimmett (leg-spinner)
versus
Clive Lloyd (batsman, very successful captain, later match referee)
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.
