Preliminary Round, Battles 63 and 64
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 63
Nawab of Pataudi (batsman, captained India to first overseas test victory, played with one eye)
versus
Ian Healy (world-class wicketkeeper, later commentator)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Battle 64
Muttiah Muralitharan (off-spinner, first man to 1000 combined wickets, greatest off-spinner ever)
versus
Geoff Boycott (opening batsman, part of rebel tours, outspoken commentator)
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.
