Toss up if u ask me but i think Lara will be remembered longer for his feats than Headley. Actually i take that back, considering we arent just talking about onfield impact. i also took into consideration Headley's impact on 'social' issues and IMO he is more of a hero to us West Indians than Lara so Headley it is.

Ok, convinced me. Headley.

That sort of reasoning slightly defeats the object of the battle, but never mind.

Round of 32, 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
John Wisden (cricketer, launched Wisden Cricketers' Almanack)
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.
