about the same level to me, both very flawed but made the best of what they were presented and were great openers in the long term

If one can rate Smith ahead of Sutcliffe, don't know why he can't do that with Cook. Cook is arguably better than Smith.

Gooch looks good, but I'm not a fan.
Strudel is what I prefer.

Easy Apple Strudel
This apple strudel is very simple to make with a sweet apple and raisin filling wrapped in golden puff pastry for a truly impressive fall dessert!

Fair. Gavaskar and Hutton are clearly the best two. After that I think it’s between Greenidge and Smith, and Boycott for third best.

Boycott>Greenidge>Smith/Sehwag/Hayden/Cook. Greenidge is closer to Boycott than he is to Smith. And Smith is in no way clear of Cook/Hayden/Sehwag.

Agree that Boycott and Greenidge are close

If Smith is in the race of 3rd greatest opener, so is Sehwag/Hayden/Cook, think that is agreeable as well.

I’m not used to a ranking being so well received so I must amend it.
Hobbs > Sutcliffe/Hutton/Gavaskar > Boycott > V.Richards > Smith/Hayden/Greenidge/Sehwag/Cook

Cook > Sehwag for me
Sehwag’s record in many places is dismal
25 in SA(8 Tests)
20 in NZ(5 Tests)
27 in Eng(7 Tests)

I was asking if you also rate Hayden below Cook.
