It was a tie though.

Why couldn't you wait for more tiebreaker votes?

You rated Trueman higher before changing your opinion, as always you're being hypocritical simply because you want a guy to be better but you don't have a valid argument to make for it.

Nothing to do with that, if one learn's something new or see's the logic in another argument, there's no problem in changing his opinion. Actually having the exact same opinion of every player ever, for a long period of say 10 years, sounds more stupid

Dude.....

And yes I agree. If you don't call Barry an ATG, 19 tests vs England can't qualify O'Reilly over an Ashwin either.

It's a hilarious double standard.

Crazy how you removed 8 Tests from O'Reilly just because you could

I think having Barry over Greenidge but complaining about Boycott not being ahead of him sounds hypocritical.

Because it is, lol

No it's just hilarious how you are so high on the Barry glaze when we both know you don't value peer reputation all that much, you're mad for some reason because I said Barry with his 4 Tests and far inferior FC career is not better than Boycott with 100+ Tests, much longer and greater FC career and so forth. It's actually hilarious.

Exactly my point

I have Boycott smacking either of them.

Ok. I am was saying for the original round, next time.

Because you are almost certainly not going to get those number of votes in a second round.

I'm not mad at all. It's absolutely fine to rate Barry below Boycott. In fact if someone rates him below Duckett or Jaiswal as well because he didn't have an actual test career, I'm fine with that as well. My only issue is pretending Barry over Greenidge is fine but Barry over Boycott is some mad opinion.

Oh, no one who voted for either of them is voting this round, since I am already counting those votes

Yeah because Boycott is a mile above Greenidge.

On what basis is he getting over Barry that doesn't contradict Barry over Greenidge?

It’s not like no one has Greenidge over Boycott…I think most agree they’re very close

Rank these 5 Test openers in order (Boycott, Greenidge, Hayden, Sehwag, G Smith)

Rank the non Gavaskar modernish Test openers, in order of greatness.

Yeah because Boycott is a mile above Greenidge.

Which is where we differ then... Also pretty funny considering Greenidge actually beat Boycott on CW, so it really can't be that mad, and I myself have Boycott over Greenidge, and also how much you hate Chanderpaul but have absolutely no issues with how Boycott batted.
