Player wit the most opening partners

Am I right in saying Strauss only opened with Trescothick and Cook?
He also opened with Vaughan (six times), Bell (twice) and Pietersen (once). Pietersen doesn't really count though because it was a second innings chase thing.

Vaughan and Pietersen were opening with Cook in those matches, with Strauss batting at 3 or 4. Strauss and Bell opened in the match that Cook missed through illness in India in 2006.

Conrad Hunte & Mark Richardson would have had a lot also.

Off my head for Hunte would be - Kanhai, J Holt, Cammie Smith, E McMorris, Joey Carew, Seymour Nurse, S Camacho, M Bynoe

Richardson - Bell, Horne, Vincent, Papps, Fleming, Spearman, Sinclar

Could be missing or adding somebody by mistake.

Cook up to 14 with Hales, Duckett, Hameed and Jennings all having had a crack. Still some way to go for the record, but certainly a top tier effort.

There's a typo in the thread title

Should read "Playa wit da most opening partnerz"

Whatever it takes!!!
You remove the word opening from the question and the answer is probably Herschelle Gibbs. :p


At least based on his autobiography.

He seems like the type to exaggerate stories though

Once bragged about having never read a book
