Well in my view there is only one Graham Gooch
it would be said that in times of need and when u needed to get out of a pickle G.A.Gooch would be high on the list of openers in world cricket for that period and I will never forget the 146 at headingly against an awesome westindies attack on a dodgy pitch and being present on both days of the 333 vs srilanka at lords is among my fave moments in cricket
along with Goochie would be Athers his historical and monumental 185 vs South Africa was incredible but for Jack Russell thou I think England would have been in for a pasting
Even tho his career was almost over in the 80's Geoff Boycott was a hand full and even though he didn't quite do the business he is still one of the top order greats in English Test History
then of course you can not have a list with out Gower and Gatting. David Gowers consumate ease at batting was always a delight to watch especially when pasting the Aussies and Gatt ..... Mike Gatting was always batting for England come rain or shine and the three G's Athers ...not forgetting the reason for my love of the game one I.T.BOTHAM make this top Six Legend in it self
