Sir Viv.

Not even at the last 16 yet and we've already lost Miller, Trumper, O'Reilly, Hammond, Barnes, Botham, Pollock, Worrell, Imran and Tendulkar! I can't remember all the battles to know who's left, but it must be some list.

Viv, close one though but IVA wins on sheer weight of nicknames.

Waugh

 

[Slifer]

IVA for me although i have the most profound respect for Steven Roger Waugh and what he did for Australian (and by extension) world cricket.

Round of 32, Battle 13

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 13

Alan Knott (wicketkeeper, renowned for his brilliant glovework for England)

versus

Don Bradman (batsman, considered the greatest ever)

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.
