Technique wise Tendulkar has always been better than Dravid. Dravid certainly played far better than anyone else in England though, no one is doubting that.
Sachin is certainly more decisive than Dravid in terms of footwork, i.e either going forward or back and also in terms of head position and balance.

Dravid though is slightly better at playing inside the line late or covering for the seaming/swinging ball playing late.(As a result of which Dravid has always enjoyed playing in England).

Overall in all conditions, Sachin has always been better technique wise no doubt.

would not mind a Sachin 100 here Sydney and Oval were the two major grounds that first witnessed the genius of Tendualkar so will be fitting he gets his 100th 100 on one of these two.

Dravid is better at always making sure where his off stump is - Tendulkar too often goes nibbling when he shouldn't, but I would disagree with Dravid being better at covering seaming/swinging.

I'd mind. I want India thoroughly humiliated.

India don't care about Tests :p.

And the fans who do, will be thoroughly humiliated regardless of whether Sachin scores a 100 - if India can't score at the SCG, I don't see them scoring anywhere TBF.
