Jacques Kallis vs Rahul Dravid

[ma1978]

They were all built on the back of the 2001 Aus victory, built on the Calcutta 2001 win which was arguably the greatest test of all-time. That match changed Indian cricket.

I can buy that.

the overarching point is Dravid scored a material century or a double in what are at least in my mind the four most significant wins in Indian cricket history. J could make a strong case he’s the most impactful batsman in Indian cricket history.

Dravid's 180 was against better bowling.

And Kallis' match-saving ton was better than athis 148 knock.

If you take Match Circumstances into consideration the innings you said were definitely better. But purely going by Bowling this is the Best Innings because 1997 South Africa had Allan Donald in Super Form in this Series.
1996/97 Tour - Allan Donald - 20 Wickets - 15.95 Avg - 35.80 SR, 2000/01 Tour - Glenn McGrath - 15.35 Avg - 48.11 SR

I mean, ok. I just think he wasnt really at his best in that test, from what I recall.

Donald took 6/126 in this match at an Average of 21.00, Dravid also went on to score 81 in the second innings and India was almost able to defeat South Africa but Daryl Cullinan Century denied India a Win and it became a Draw.

Kalis probably shouldn't be winning this so big, although gun to head I would probably take him, depending on conditions of course.
