Round of 64, Battle 19
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 19
Richard Hadlee (fast bowling all-rounder, later chairman of selectors)
versus
Fred Spofforth (fast bowler, considered the greatest fast bowler of the 19th century)
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.

The Demon

Cricketer Of The Year
Yet another ball tearer, and any man who can lay claim to the almost single-handed invention of The Ashes is rightly a legend.
But Paddles' value to NZ cricket outweighs his countrymen by such a distance that arguably only Murali for SL exceeds it. So, as tough as it is to vote against the Demon...
