They're the best I can think of at the moment... Sir Don was a number 3 batsmen usually.

i always thought openers in test....were ppl wit good defense just 2 block off the ball

Not neccesarily. They sometimes defend for the first 10 overs or so, to see of the new ball, sometimes defend slowly for the entire innings, or sometimes hit out from the start. You have defensive openers like Atherton or agressive openers like Hayden.
