I actually had miswritten the rankings, thanks to the floating keyboard. Still I rate sanga a bit high, but it's just a personal preference.

Dravid was an ATG as well but I feel like he’s a bit below these three.

Kind of like how Pollock was an ATG but a step below Akram/Donald/Waqar imo

He does have the best away record of anyone here. I don't think either of the other 3 had an ATG away series as good as Dravid's Eng 2011 tour. Hence I don't get why most people don't rate him as highly on CW.

Fair enough. I don’t think it’s ridiculous to rate him higher. That England series was pretty amazing.

Does he have the best away record? He's definitely in the conversation, but so are Sanga and Kallis. He had some fantastic series, but also some really poor ones. And he's not in the conversation for best home record.

I think I rate him last here. But I put all of them on a similar level. There isn't a gap like the post you are replying to is implying.

In the middle of his career, he averaged 65 overseas. I don't think anybody here hates or dislikes Dravid, but they just rate ponting or kallis higher.
3 votes to sangakkara over Dravid might be debatable tho.

I think he does, especially compared to someone like Sanga. He has double the runs and a significantly higher average in the major nations.
