Maybe not for 2 days (could anyone nowadays?), but Vaughan's batted a fair while to save a test for England on occasions. The 2nd SL test in 2003/04, Antigua in 2004 and the 1st SA test in 2003 spring to mind.
Didn't he do it in SL 2 winters back?

The only batsman I could see doing it now would be Dravid, but for a top 5, it'd be:
Dravid
Lara
Tendulkar
Kallis
Martyn

i doubt too many people in cricket are capable of batting 2 days especially with waugh, kirsten, flower, richardson etc retiring in the last couple of years, but ATM you're really only looking at:
dravid
kallis
chanderpaul

No-one really, but joining in with the nonsense I'd go for Chanderpaul, Langer, Lara, Kallis and McDravid.

Gillespie as a reserve
Agree on Laxman.....if he's set, he's one one of the most difficult players to get out. In the eyes of several Aussies, even more so than Dravid.

Dravid
Kallis (He saved SA against WI recently didn't he? Granted not 2 days)
Chanderpaul
Lara
Katich
