Me too, Maybe Cook and Smith as wellI rate Gooch ahead of Hayden.

Even if you don't count Barry Richards (which is understandable), you still would have to consider Victor Trumper.Gooch vs Hayden is probably closer, Boycott is pretty firmly #5 in all time openers list unless you believe in Barry Richards or something.
Questionable away record and record against England in general.Even if you don't count Barry Richards (which is understandable), you still would have to consider Victor Trumper.
who are your first five?And Geoff boycott being the 5th (imo 6th) greatest opener just shows that there have not been many great openers.
Not considering Grace or Barry.who are your first five?
I'm not certain about the 9th to 12th slot. Don't think Sehwag>Cook is controversial.smh Cook>Sehwag
Not counting Grace, Barry, Shrewsbury, Barnes and Merchant (yes, I know I wasn't asked, but wanted to answer):who are your first five?
