Battle of the Legends

If this was for best player, rather than legend, it would probably be Weekes, but as a player and journalist, Benaud has my vote as one of the all-time legends...

Preliminary Round, Battle 8

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.


Clyde Walcott (West Indian batsman, later an ICC chairman and match-referee)



Javed Miandad (one of only two batsmen to maintain an average of 50+ throughout his career, famous last-ball six against India)



This battle will close after 6 hours (or earlier if it's one-sided IMO) with a lead of at least 5. Otherwise, it will close after 12 hours.

Sheesh I went to sleep and missed like 3 battles!

Miandad for this round. Not only a great player, but his fiesty personality added to his legend IMO.
