Tendulkar >> Dravid >>>>>>>>> Root. 

Dravid averaged 57+ during his peak and faced far greater quality bowling than Root has done. Root is also a big fat zero in ODIs and T20s. 

 

Tendulkar >> Root > Dravid for me

 

Dravid was good but not better than Root. Though Root does leave the door open for discussion due to his poor performances in Aus.

Dravid averaged much higher in his peak, faced much better bowling all-round and has far less holes in his resume. Comparing root to dravid is basically like comparing Kohli to Smith in tests.

I would take Root across all formats. Sort of the same across Tests but Root is much better in shorter formats.

Roots is not better than Dravid in ODIs, i am sorry to say, though its closer than its in tests, where he is significantly behind.

Thats irrelevant in a team sport. Saleem Malik is a world cup winner. brian Lara isn't. if you want to argue that Saleem Malik is better than  Lara, there is a bridge on jupiter i'd like to sell you

Excellent logical counter. 

 

[putrevus]

Dravid is not even close to Root in any format. 1999 when Australia  had Mcgrath and Warne, made him look like tailender.I don't think he even crossed 50.

 

The only chink in Root's career is him not scoring 100s in Australia.

I agree.

 

Dravid was excellent but Root has gone past him.

 

He scored 750 runs vs Bumrah, Shami, Siraj, Ashwin and Jadeja in a home series, 2nd run scorer was Rohit with 360 runs.

[nevada]

100 centuries is THE record Sachin will probably hold forever. That, plus his aggregate of international runs will also never be broken. Lesser records like test aggregate, test centuries, ODI centuries etc might get broken. Best of luck to Root for the test record. 

[ungboysj]

Another match winning knock after crucial 42 in first

 

Incredible consistency, never out of form

 

What a legend

[Majestic]

Most fifties in Test cricket:-

 

Sachin Tendulkar - 68

Joe Root - 64

 

Only 5 fifties to go past SRT's record.

Gee I wonder how many runs he would score if the opposition was allowed to change balls as often as the English bowlers.

This has to be called out by everyone now. Ball change has become the new chucking/tampering.

If ball loses its shape, it gets changed no matter which the bowling side is.

Why are you concerned?

 

He will retire well before breaking SRT's record. However, he will surpass other names in the list. At the end, you will also be happy and so will Joe Root. Pakistanis won't.
