Dravid 90-10 for me.
He values his wicket as much as he values his life. He builds it beautifully in the test format.
As per the ODI game, he's always been a fantastic player, just going through a lean phase at the moment. If you rewind a couple of years back, he was consistently scoring those quiet 50s, 60's and 70's to keep the innings together.
Over 10,000 runs and an average of 40 doesn't match up with a decent batsman.
Yousuf is much more than a average batsman, at the moment their records are much more similar. They average the same in tests, Dravid has played 42 more tests and only has 2 more centuries than Yousuf. When its all said and done I think that Yousuf will end up the better Test player. I don't understand how so many people are underrating Yousufs record so far and his performance for Pakistan maybe its the large number of Indian fans in here or maybe I am overrating him.
In ODIs in my opinion Yousuf is a better batsman, he averages 5 more than Dravid and his strike rate is better too. Dravid has played 75 more matches and he already has 2 less centuries than Yousuf. Again I think that records show that Yousuf is the better batsman.
