I love Wasim and have no problem with him winning this battle - but are you kidding with that post? I'm thinking that being a "well known in the books" and "a name in history" is kind of the point of this exercise.

Round of 32, Battle 6
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 6
Jack Hobbs (opening batsman, most prolific batsman, one of Wisden's five cricketers of the century)
versus
Glenn McGrath (fast bowler, the metronome, leading wicket-taker among fast bowlers)
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.
