Really this debate is like comparing Einstein and Newton at singing American idol songs.

 

[vastu shastra]

Yousuf is better ODI player for sure, Dravid was better in the late 90's

QFT.

 

[Richard]

I don't really think much has changed - as pointed-out by me, Dravid is over 18 months older than Yousuf, so it's always pretty likely that one will begin a downward spiral before the other.

And TBH, I'd never really be terribly ordained to find particularly good reason why one is overwhelmingly better than the other. Obviously there are going to be points, many of them, where one is preferable to the other. This is no different to any of the previous 9 or 10 years.
