Key difference there, no minimum Test played limit existed for Saffa selection. It did in this discussion though.

An arbitrary and transparent one designed to exclude one specific player.

Every cutoff is arbitrary, we draw the line somewhere. Also I think it excludes more than one player really.....

It was meant to exclude only one, and you know this.

My “agenda” was rating between these 6 specific openers. I have already said the the thread title was incorrect/misleading multiple times

Greenidge/Boycott
Hayden
Sehwag
Cook
Smith

Actually I rate Smith ahead of cook. Can't remember why the hell I ranked him below everyone. (Also why can't I edit my post?)

Its a built in function so people can make fun of your old posts months and years later.

Look forward to it
