Battle of the Legends

Slifer

International Captain
If we were merely comparing them as cricketers it would be Gilchrist all the way, but alas we arent. And considering that the trophy the 2 teams compete for was named for him while he was still an active cricketer it has to be Sir Frank Worrell

International Coach
Round of 64, Battle 23

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 23

Pasag (leg-spinner, highest wicket-taker (700+ wickets), considered the greatest leg-spinner ever)



versus

Shaun Pollock (fast bowler, leading wicket-taker for South Africa)



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.
