Kapil Dev vs Gordon Greenidge

[sayon basak]

on primary? I think there's a decisive winner there

Decisive winner doesn't mean that it's not close.

close is a matter of perspective.

Primary skill - arguable

Greenidge has one clear edge in his primary skill. Opening in test cricket is still viewed as one of the most demanding roles in Test cricket. He ranks among the top five post-war openers and that alone makes his primary skill much more valuable than Kapil’s bowling.

I think Dev is better than Taylor in primary but I efinitely think he is closer to Taylor in primary than to Gordon

Taylor is better than Gordon in primary.

May be there is merit in this statement. Taylor is ATG captain first ATG slipper next and decent batsman last.

Nah disagree. Gordon and Kapil isn't dissimilar to Hayden and Akhtar, and I definitely think they are close in primary.

But it's close. Nobody's denying that Greenidge is better than Kapil on primary.
