Greenidge appears to be doing worse than Crowe.

Because he is an inferior Batsmen.

That is not the consensus tho.

Yeah would take Crowe ahead of him too

Greenidge is weirdly overrated on this site.
sayon basak
International Coach
Yeah. Specially after knowing that he was a CW poster.

Wouldn't disagree tbh. Gooch should also be rated high if we are gonna rate Greenidge that high.
Johan
Hall of Fame Member
Yeah I see Gooch and Greenidge as practically equal too
sayon basak
International Coach
There you go. See @capt_Luffy? Gooch is the real deal.
Johan

in his heart, Luffy knows Gooch was amazing

Greenidge seems to be rated way higher.
Greenidge vs Gooch
I know there was recently an openers countdown on here but this is a direct matchup between two openers from the same era.

yeah I don't get it, even statistically they're only 2 points apart,.with Gooch having like 50 more innings and pretty sure he was averaging same as Greenidge like 200 innings in (Greenidge played 185 innings). Reckon opening in England and 50+ innings against Peak West Indies makes up for 2 point gap anyway.

Gooch averages only 2 runs less and has a better record v quality attacks
Johan

Agreed.

iirc a player who has their peak earlier in their career will almost always be rated ahead of a late peak career, not matter how similar or even close the two might be. All about perception.
Johan
Hall of Fame Member
Yeah guess that's it, Greenidge also is a weird case of a guy having two peaks so that probably helps make an illusion of consistency.

Sounds like ICC Ranking system.
