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.

Sir Geoffrey.

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