Tough One. I say Grace because of his legendary stories and the way he dramtically changed the game.
Going through the list of Grace's relatives that played cricket I stumbled upon this Charles Grace (look at bowling style) Was this a common type of bowling back then? Was there many people who bowled under-arm?

Grace. If he's not at least in the last 4 the whole battle might as well be abandoned.

Round of 32, Battle 12
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 12
Steve Waugh (batsman, captained Australia to a world-record 16 successive test victories, authored tour diaries and an autobiography)
versus
Viv Richards (batsman, dominated attacks, fastest test 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.
