Herbert Sutcliffe vs Gordon Greenidge

[Coronis]

Hanif is probably indeed the most skillful in tier 3, don't really think he's necessarily lesser of a Batsmen than someone like Sehwag either but eh I got Sehwag lower than most.

I would also put Mitchell in that 2nd tier.

Anyway Hanif is definitely comparable to the likes of Taylor, Woodfull, Lawry and Amiss.

No qualms with Bruce being in the 2nd rung, ditto Hanif. Admittedly i don't know as much about South African cricketers as others here. Ditto Hanif.

Herbert Taylor is an interesting call

Good stats as an opener but defo better as a MOB

shouldn't have opened in the Triangular series, having a 508 run series against peak Barnes who took 49 @ 10 is a crazy feat.

Afaic openers go like this:

Atg/big 4:

Hutton, Hobbs, Sunil, Herbert

2nd rung:

Greenidge, Hunte, Simpson, Hayden, Taylor, Morris, Woodfull, Lawry, Ponsford, Sehwag, G Smith, Saeed, Boycott, Amiss, Cook

3rd rung:

Haynes, Gayle, Fredricks, Stollmeyer, Slater, Katich, Warner, Kirsten, Gibbs, Kepler, Hanif, Edrich, Trescothick, Vaughan, Turner etc.

Gooch?

 

[Sliferxxxx]

Gooch?

Schitt. Forgot all about him. Probably 2.

 

[Sliferxxxx]

And etc at the end of tier 3 are for the likes of: Sidhu, Gambhir, Boon, , Redpath and others. Not that they're in tier 3 or anything but there simply are too many openers for me to rank.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Kirsten is definitely in the same tier as Gooch and Anwar

 

[Johan]

lmao
