the hundred in the innings defeat doesn't hold the same weight for me.

Not counting tours of Sri Lanka etc.

Good to know then Lara has no Great away Series as well; since then surely 688 in a whitewash holds no weight.

17 hundreds in SENA.
Multiple good tours in each nation.
6 tons in Aus
5 tons in SA
4 tons in Eng (plus 3 90s)

SA scored 600+ and india were trailing by 500 runs, there was no way they were winning. The intensity from SA bowlers won't be the same as say when the match is in balance. If he had scored that hundred in the first innings, ya then it's fair. But if you think sachin's hundred in that second innings hold the same weight as Lara's any of the hundreds in sri lanka.. congratulations.

I would think one would try and be intense to push for the win
Wow, good to know about this informative stats.
Dravid has 3 mots in sena , which is the highest by an Indian, bumrah can break that record.

Getting wise in his old age tbh.
Seriously, 39 players have taken 300 wickets. 15 have scored 10000 runs.
To be part of both of those clubs is insane to think about.

He did well in those series but not necessarily the best touring batter.
Eng in 2002 Dravid was significantly better.
WI 97 Dravid was better.

Yeah probably 07/08 Aus tour I agree.
SA tour I wouldn't say great tour. He had a great final test, but Laxman played even brilliant knock in Durban test on a much tougher deck.

Yes, he is incredible at hitting a century in a series so if he tours 4 or 5 times he'd get that many hundreds. But not a batter who dominates series away from home. Dravid did it at a better rate despite being not as good a batsman and playing in the same lineup and in fewer series.
Funnily Tendulkar didn't have this problem in ODIs, but definitely a weak point in tests.

Dravid also toured those nations almost as much as Tendulkar. Dravid struggled in both Australia and South Africa almost throughout his career.
Basing it all on the stats doesn't tell you everything. Tendulkar when he batted made fewer errors, looked more assured and in his prime looked to get on top. Dravid was the grinder. He may have numbers in certain places but Tendulkar was the better overseas batter. (Anyone who watched knows). The main reason Tendulkar doesn't have a very dominant series away from home is because India would only play 2 match or 3 match series in his prime. Add a test to each of the series from his 'prime', and you'd get a whole bunch of series with high runs tally. (Longer series are better as you get used to opposition bowlers and conditions).

Tendulkar is a better batter than Dravid so I'd expect his stats to be better.
But as you said in your other post stats don't tell everything. When it comes to individual series away from home, when Dravid clicked he performed better across the series and that is something Tendulkar lacked comparing against most of the other great batters.

Just a spell sample from that century in that test. Certainly no walk in the park though I can understand why you would rate other tons higher.

Actually Kallis has 292 Test wickets. But yeah it's astonishing.
