Barrington played Tests for over a decade. Greig did pretty good in the Tests he played in, but they were in an extremely short window at his peak. In situations like this I look for the FC numbers, and a 1.5x jump in career batting average from FC to Test over a complete career..... I ain't betting on that.
Greig was very decent in World XI in Australia in 71 as well, let people just cut off longevity points and rate him off his test career

180 runs in 5 matches @30. Very decent, but nothing special really. I am fine with rating players off of Test only given they had a decently long career. Greig simply doesn't.
