Most agree that Dravid vs Anderson is close so wanted to see the result of this. Ignore captaincy and just compare them in their primary disciplines.

I'm pretty sure Border is on record as saying Anderson is far better than him as a cricketer and as a man.
That wasn't the quote. Why are you trying to misrepresent like this? Sketchy as hell.
What Border actually said was ''Anderson is a far better person than me, as a cricketer, and a man. And I'm eternally greatful that porked my nan''.
Fake news from RIS, as usual.

I had no idea Border said that. I guess I have to move Anderson up my rankings now.

Border.
Do we also ignore Border's SLAs which were a lot better than Anderson's batting?

Do you really think Woakes is delusional enough to think that some Border guy is better than him?

Border has a far more complete record than Anderson can dream of, literally one of the best records of any ATG, plus had dominating series against ATG bowlers of his era(Marshall/Garner/Holding, Imran/Sarfaraz, Botham/Willis, Hadlee in the 85 series etc) and amazing versatility from 3-6.

Is Root's bowling worth a mention when he's brought up then? He's taken Test wickets at twice the rate of Border.
