CW's Ranking of Opening Batsmen (Tests)

gftw

U19 12th Man
Since the batsmen list had mostly middle order batsmen, a list just for openers would be an interesting exercise. We will go through the first couple rounds pretty quickly.

The vote for the #1 test opener of all-time begins now.

Leave these open longer IMO, especially given the Poms might be interested as they have had good openers. Many CWers would vote Hutton or Gavaskar for number one.
