International Coach
Preliminary Round, Battles 51 and 52

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 51

Sourav Ganguly ()



versus

Herbert Sutcliffe ()


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Battle 52

Anil Kumble ()



versus

Ian Chappell ()



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.
