openers only
Unfortunately in cricket greatness seems to be decided retrospectively using stats. In my view a player who in his playing days commanded serious respect and fear from opposition for a considerable length of time is a great player, and Mathew Hayden, Sehwag, Jayasurya all fitted that bill. Yes some were stronger in Asian conditions while others in bouncy conditions, which is natural. Hayden on the other hand was instrumental in winning a series in India which probably makes him greater than most. But talking about openers IMO the best this world has seen is Graeme Smith and I don't need stats to judge that. The fact that guy has played match and series winning innings multiple timee in Australia, england, UAE, India makes him perhaps the best batsman of his generation and not just the best opening batsman.

Thanks bro.
Was thinking there are some big names missing..
Overall batsman stats are in this thread.No Tendulkar?
