Battle of the Legends

International Coach
Round of 32, Battle 4

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 4

Bill Ponsford (elegant batsman, one of only two players to cross 400 twice in FC cricket (Lara being the other))



versus

Wilfred Rhodes (all-rounder, most prolific FC bowler ever)



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.

Wilfred Rhodes

Never realised what an amazing First Class record Bill Ponsford has, sensational records for both of these players.
