Me and my friend once had a huge debate on who was a better opener between Greenidge and Gavaskar. That was when I found out how Gavaskar's records on Australia, New Zealand and West Indies aren't very good.

And Greenidge's case is very interesting too. He was the only opener who made runs against Hadlee in NZ, but his numbers against Lillee and Thomson were quite bad. But after digging deep, I found out that Greenidge had great records against Lillee in WSC 1979, which made the whole comparison extremely weird. We ended up in a stalemate.

That physically hurt, since imo Viv is just slightly better than Gavaskar

Next time debate Gooch vs Gavaskar. Pretty sure Gooch would win.

I just wish we got to see more of Rabada-Steyn-Morkel-Philander on the South African wickets that we have today.

It would be absolutely ridiculous to watch.

I haven't looked into Gooch's numbers as much but I know that he had a brilliant record against the quartet.
