Dravid vs Miandad

[capt_Luffy]

Which is counterbalanced by him flopping worse against a full strength attack. At least accept there is another side to the equation.

If there wasn't he would be rated much higher really

If you want to consider flat wickets, Miandad also got some super flat wickets in NZ

Sure we can parse by series if you wish but how do you respond to the fact that without minnows it's still quite a difference?

Will you concede it might be close overall though we mostly agree Dravid is better?

Dude you started this point by saying he was 'much better' in Australia. Will you concede that is wrong, that it's closer?

Dravid has a legit Great Australian tour to draw a series. I don't think it's level above or even much ahead, but I will take it over Miandad in both Australia and England.

Much better in Australia (a Great Series, 40+ avg),

Boycott > Miandad.

 

[BazBall21]

Yeah much better is wrong. He has the edge.

 

[subshakerz]

Anyways consensus seems to be Dravid better away and overall close which I agree with.

Okay not much better in Australia, but I can't really rate Miandad there over him.

Miandad scored big runs against Hadlee, while Dravid got knocked over by the likes of Doull, Tuffey, and Oram.

Dravid made 190 v Doull and Cairns in New Zealand. The next tour there was one of the most bowler-friendly in post-war test cricket and Dravid was the top run scorer.

Really??

Sanga > Dravid in NZ imo

Yeah probably. Sanga taking Bond down on hard green wickets is his finest work. In general, I'd take him on fast tracks and Dravid v movement on slower surfaces.

 

[Johan]

Really??

Yeah for sure, was better in most places they toured except New Zealand, home record is different but largely down to Javed having much flatter pitches at home and couldn't be given LBW on top of it, plus, Geoffrey opened and opening in SENA is a hard job.

 

[BazBall21]

Boycott is ahead of Dravid and Miandad imo
