Yeah, what he said.

Dravid has a better peak. Scored more daddy tons and impact knocks. And was better in the 90s before pitches flattened. So it is close between Dravid and Kallis.

However, I think Kallis has a marginally better case based on a better record against McWarne and his home record.

Or a Kallis vs Jadeja thread. Maybe secondary skills only so it's closer.

Pretty sure Dravid 180 vs Aus is that.
And Kallis 101* is better than Dravid 148.

Dravid’s best 100 was the 148 in Headingley in 2002. It was very challenging swinging conditions and a good bowling attack in Caddick, Flintoff, Hoggard and Tudor. He got India into a position where Tendulkar and Ganguly could cash in and it was a historic victory (first by India in England in 17 years).
Adelaide, Rawalpindi probably next two because they were doubles both led to historic wins in places India hadibt won in two plus decades.
It’s why I rate Dravid higher. Kallis wins out statistically but Dravid had MANY more big moments.

Tbf I wouldn't exactly want either in my ODI team if it's ATG level.....

One more Ajay Jadeja = Dravid out of 90s Indian team.
Kallis would have been 2nd best player in 90s Indian team..(Galaxies ahead of Robin Singh.)

Nah, Ganguly was a very fine ODI batsman, he is definitely ahead; as is Kumble (not counting Azhar).

In their primary skills.. Yes. ( Jadeja and Srinath too)
