Round of 64, Battle 9
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 9
Ian Botham (all-rounder, fastest to 2000-200 milestone, later a commentator)
versus
Graeme Pollock (left-handed batsman, greatest South African cricketer ever (?), 3rd highest test average)
This battle will close after 12 hours (or earlier if it's a no contest IMO) with a lead of at least 5. Otherwise, it will close after 24 hours.

Ian Botham{I can't vote in favour of a person who played only 23 tests(regardless of whatever was the reason) even if he's averaging 200}.
