Preliminary Round, 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.
Bishan Bedi (left-arm spinner, part of the famous spin quartet, later an outspoken critic)
Ian Botham (all-rounder, fastest to 2000-200 milestone, later a commentator)
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.

Two genuine Legends, but it has to Botham. If you wrote the 1981 Series as a work of fiction it would be considered too far fetched.
