CW's Ranking of Opening Batsmen (Tests)

Line and Length

Cricketer Of The Year
The first variation from the order of openers on the Top 50 Batsmen list (apart from Trumper who was better as a MOB). Greenidge has jumped ahead of Sehwag and Haydn but as the trio occupied consecutive spots, this is understandable.

Sehwag
Not the first variation. Smith was below Simpson in the batsman list.

Tests

Four tests.
The WSC Super Tests are now officially recognized, so Barry Richards actually played 9 Tests.

His WSC average was 79.14 against some pretty useful bowling attacks
