Can't believe nobody's mentioned Mark Richardson. Dravid is a lot more aggressive nowadays. He mixes a new found positiveness with his already solid technique.

I'd say Richardson is more defensive than Dravid.

He was mentioned in the initial post. I guess no one felt the need to disagree with his selection, so he didn't get mentioned again.

He played his last test in 1982. Atherton was primarily defensive too.
