There are a couple of very vocal Gooch simps here. For me with post-Hutton openers, its Sunny, Boycott, The 00’s Trio + Greenidge, Cook (unless its a Cook hating day), Others

Simpson’s a little harder because not his full career was opening but I’d probably lump him in that tier with Greenidge and the other guys. Rankings on those 4 are always subject to change, though generally its Smith at the top.

Post Hutton is interesting, and it obviously starts with Barry and Sunny, but Greenidge for me is next in line. Then Smith, Hayden, Boycott, Gooch and as you say Simpson is difficult to rate, but his reopening record is very good and he deserves to be in that group.

Nah I meant Gavaskar > Boycott > Gooch/Greenidge > 2000s openers.

still trying to figure out where Lawry and Simpson fall.

I can't in good conscience rate anyone nicknamed the corpse.
