I think a case could be made for Greenidge over Lloyd easily enough, as a batsman. Greenidge is considered to be in the top 10 openers of all time by CW

Pretty good list. Dravid would make it ahead of Kumble and Smith ahead of Kirsten though. Pietersen is arguably better than Cook. Good to see Grieg there,one under-rated player.

How the **** did I overlook Dravid? Dravid >> Kohli ftr. Not sure about Smith vs Kirsten - I'll let the Saffers decide.
