Jacques Kallis or Rahul Dravid?

Can we throw in Chanderpaul in this discussion.

Well, there is no question as to McGrath being the best bowler since Curtly Ambrose. And in fact every batsman has struggled against him. So Dravid's failure is not something to harp upon significantly. Didn't Kallis also struggle against him??

Kallis scored 2 hundreds in Australia against Australia against McGrath and Warne. Dravid didn't score 1 against McGrath or Warne in Australia.

Give me a break. That Sharma owned Ponting is clear as daylight. Ponting played two good innings on helpful surfaces, in Adelaide and in Bangalore on first day wickets. Otherwise in ODIs as well as tests, Sharma has caused him helluva trouble.

Haha what? What then can explain Australia's sub-par run rate in the concluded test series in India? (No, even excluding the Nagpur 8-1 fielding). Mate, you are living in a cliched world.

5 day wickets. You make it out as if 10,000 runs were scored in the Bangalore. Ponting was under allot of pressure to score a 100 in India and he delievered against Sharma and against Harbhajan. Neither team scored over 500 in their first innings so you can hardly call it the placit flat wicket and only bad light and poor spin bowling saved India.
