How-to-vote
The mechanism to decide the winner is as follows:
1. Sixteen Batsmen - past and present - have been shortlisted.
2. This list has been chosen by a group of ESPN STAR Sports representatives. From now on, it's your choice as to who wins.
3. The voting mechanism will be in the form of a knock-out.
1. The 16 will be paired against each other in a knockout draw chosen at random.
2. Pairings will then be made available for the public to cast their votes for a set period.
3. The "winner" (i.e. the person with the bigger percentage of votes cast) will go through to the next round - while the loser will be "eliminated"
4. This voting process is repeated for the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final scheduled to be held from 09 – 21 September.
5. The winner will then be announced during the Champions Trophy pre show on Tuesday 22nd September.
