How would you rank these batsmen against high quality pace bowling in pace friendly conditions?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Crowe
Greenidge
Gooch

Crowe
Greenidge
Gooch
Clarke
Amla
Pietersen
Gower
Lloyd
Laxman
M Waugh
Younis Khan

Not really sure about the second half

 

[Majestic]

Crowe or Greenidge at the top .

Younis CWF favourite Khan is at bottom.

 

[Johan]

1. Crowe
2. Gooch
3. Greenidge

is probably the top three, I might be underrating Lloyd though by not having him in top three.

Not sure if he's in the top 3, but definitely top 5

You should've done a poll between Greenidge, gooch and Crowe.

Not sure if Greenidge was better than gooch.

Gooch was inferior to Greenidge in my opinion. Greenidge is among the very best vs pace while Gooch probably more balanced vs spin and pace. I don't think Greenidge played the quality of spin bowling like Gooch did in 90s but their record in 80s really clears any doubt on their game vs pace.

But Greenidge didn't have to face ATG WI pace attack. Also averages only 30 in AUS. Gooch averaged 45 against WI. (can't find a list showing highest average against pace attack, it would be helpful if someone posted just that)

He's the one that looks hard done to.

This is just for pace. And Gooch was the best performing batsmen again the ATG WI attack.

Struggled against Australia though (tbf so did Greenidge).

Where would Dravid rank in this?

 

[Thala_0710]

Where would Dravid rank in this?

Right at the top for me

 

[capt_Luffy]

Where would Dravid rank in this?

High pace or medium pace??

The best against the later by a good margin.

With Lloyd and Gower for the former.

Probably high pace since the best quicks are usually high pace.

Dravid was definitely one of the best against bowlers like Philander and Asif in English conditions
