With all due respect Furball, as you didn't watch cricket in the 90s you seriously cannot make comments like that. Crazy talk.

Dravid didn't do it often enough against Warne and McGrath for mine to even compare his record against Australia with Tendulkar. One knock of significance against them. None in Australia.

It's why Dravid > Tendulkar. The latter bolstered his stats with pretty, albeit entirely useless knocks like the one at Sydney 2004.

Nah he had the brilliant match winning innings like Dravid but also has plenty of boring ones. People just choose to remember Sydney 2004 instead of Chennai 1998

And in what world is the Sydney double hundred pretty? It was uglier than most Chanders tons

Good Captaincy is all about making do with the talent you've got. Good a player and Captain that Steve Waugh was, he was blessed with a team of astonishing talent that anyone could have captained. Around the same time Stephen Fleming did wonders with a decidedly average team that punched above their weight.

surely AB would top Smith, even on the criteria which would most favour him

No doubt along with being the best batsman in test cricket history AB de Villiers will soon be the best captain in the history of test cricket, but I think its too early to make that call.
