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. Link to comment

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.

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. Link to comment

putrevus Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) 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. Edited July 29 by putrevus Majestic 1 Link to comment

He scored 750 runs vs Bumrah, Shami, Siraj, Ashwin and Jadeja in a home series, 2nd run scorer was Rohit with 360 runs. Link to comment
nevada Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 100 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. Link to comment

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