Also include Hashim Amla into that league
great. Can you say what lead handed means… sorry i do not no itKallis has the best overall technique. Dravid was a bit lead-handed against spinners and occasionally cramped against bouncy pacers. Amla was fantastic against spin but often got stuck in the pads against pacers.
As in, Dravid was a bit stiff against spinners.great. Can you say what lead handed means… sorry i do not no it
Yes Dravid wasn’t much comfortable against Bounce and Pace, but was a excellent player of swing bowling
Was he? He certainly was no Sachin or Sehwag against spinners; but I don't think he had per say problems against them like he did against bounce.As in, Dravid was a bit stiff against spinners.
I guess Kallis was even better than Tendulkar in playing spin. Kallis averages 58 in India and 83 in Pakisthan. Of Course he is not much revered for his performance in Sri Lanka. Still averaging such high in sub continent conditions by a batsmen from SENA conditions is something to be applaudedDravid was a fantastic player of swing, the best of his generation; while he had some trouble dealing in bouncy tracks. Kallis is almost the exact the opposite, had issues with swing and was solid against bounce, but both to lesser extremes. I would say Kallis probably slightly ahead against spinners; but overall technically, there isn't too much to separate them.
Slightly. I don't think he was good against sharp spin.Was he? He certainly was no Sachin or Sehwag against spinners; but I don't think he had per say problems against them like he did against bounce.
Definitely he was very good player of spin; and he did against Kumble and Harbhajan in India and Kaneria and co in Pakistan; but he doesn't have much of a great record against Murali and Warne, the two leading spinners back then. The truth is he mostly toured during flat track era against not so great spinners, especially in Pakistan.I guess Kallis was even better than Tendulkar in playing spin.

2011 Eng TourDravid is pretty overrated against lateral movement. Only good against it on slow low pitches with no pace or bounce. He was kind of a spin and medium pace specialist but still definitely an ATG.
Yea he was very good but I don’t agree with him being the best player of movement of the modern era. I’d pick Sachin and Kohli over him on a seaming pitch against an attack of Steyn, Donald, Rabada.2011 Eng Tour

Dravid is perfect for guys like Philander thoughEasily

Even Today batting well for a SENA batsman in the Indian Subcontinent is considered great. So doing it in the 2000s was even higher. India had better spinners then than today (not by a huge margin though) Kumble - Harbajan duo was better than Ashwin - Jadeja..
and Kaneria definitely was better than any current Pakisthan spinners including Yasir Shah.
Still despite being flat, the subcontinent wickets had the dustbowl or mine field effect.. which is the testament for the SENA Batsmen and Kallis has succeeded in that.
I guess the batting friendly era began somewhere in the mid 2000s…. early 2000s definitely weren’t flat era
Jesus christ are we really doing this again.Spot on

Forgot to mention that Kallis also had to face Mushtaq who is definitely a league above an average or above average spinner

All those pacers have bounce and pace plus swing, so Dravid would falter.Yea he was very good but I don’t agree with him being the best player of movement of the modern era. I’d pick Sachin and Kohli over him on a seaming pitch against an attack of Steyn, Donald, Rabada.
