Who is the better Test match opening batsman?

Javed Omar for me. Excluding Crawley's 267, their records are pretty similar. Omar opened for a much worse side and was actually one of the best frontline batsmen in his side rather than the outright worst. He also had a stronger defence and generally did a better job of setting up an innings, albeit usually without scoring many runs.
