1. WG Grace (England)
2. Jacques Kallis (South Africa)
3. Don Bradman (Australia)
4. Sachin Tendulkar (India)
5. Garry Sobers (West Indies)
6. Andy Flower (Zimbabwe)
7. Shakib al Hasan (Bangladesh)
8. Imran Khan (Pakistan)
9. Richard Hadlee (New Zealand)
10. Bart King (non Test playing nations)
11. Muttiah Muralitharan (SL)
I think Kallis would have to open if you did it like that.

Are we after 'great' or 'best'?
Kallis might be the greater cricketer, but Pollock is the better batsman of the two South Africans IMO.
Same goes for Grace and Hobbs. Grace is probably the greater cricketer, but Hobbs would have to be the better English batsman IMO.
