Yeah maybe. Think Younis, Harvey, Kohli, Compton and even Kanhai, Boycott are pretty close in terms of level and rating them in almost any order shouldn't be a big issue

think Harvey's better tbh

my problem with Younis always has been his awkward vulnerability against true pace, other than flashes of brilliance I don't think he did constantly well in any of SENAW bar England, his Australia average specifically iirc is built entirely on a big inning on a proper flat track, otherwise he was pretty medicore in Australia.

My problem with Harvey is his English record. At a time with so few great teams, you kinda have to score runs at the home of your top opposition. 34 just doesn't cuts it for me. But can see the argument. I think de Villiers, Kohli, Younis, Compton and Harvey are fine in most orders, though won't place Harvey at the top personally; and Kanhai, May and Boycott have decent arguments, but they are at the back end of the bunch.

Yeah Harvey's english record is definitely the mark against him, even his home record against England is underwhelming bar few great innings.

More or less perfect. I would have some minor readjustments, but the overall structure is perfect
