Who's the better batsman: Brian Lara or Rahul Dravid?

[BlazeDragon]

In am saying Lara and there is not even a question about it in my honest opinion but still I wanna see the results for this one.

Again I am only asking who is better not who is more entertaining or who you prefer.

 

[hang on]

will be surprised if anyone votes for dravid.

even more than if anyone voted for ponting over tendulkar!

 

[morgieb]

Lara by a country mile.

 

[Burgey]

Lara quite easily.

Dravid a fine, fine player in his own right though.

 

[Xuhaib]

love Dravid but apart from some Pakistani legends I can't even think of voting against the Prince.Favourite non Pakistani cricketer ever.

 

[Athlai]

Dravid is probably better at seeing off the new ball but beyond that Lara is his better in every way IMO.

 

[Teja.]

This is like asking who is better; Macca or Walsh?

Dravid no doubt an ATG but Lara is Lara.

 

[robelinda]

AWTA. They both do what they do great.

 

[benchmark00]

Rahul Dravid being the irrelevant second option option in this poll.

 

[weldone]

Lara>S. Waugh>Ponting>Kallis>Dravid IMO (the ordering among the last 3 might change dramatically by the time they retire)

 

[miscer]

lara is second only to tendulkar in the modern era

 

[Uppercut]

Rahul Dravid being the irrelevant second option option in this poll.

Except that some people usually pick the irrelevant option.

 

[weeman27bob]

Lara such a class act whenever he batted.

 

[salman85]

Simple really.

The best batsman of of the last 20 years against one of the best batsmen in the last 20 years.

Lara takes this one.

And BlazeDragon continues with his agenda to prove anything Indian inferior to anything non-Indian.

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

I think Dravid is the second greatest test batsman I've seen in action. Lara was a great player too but I'm going with the Wall!

 

[BlazeDragon]

And BlazeDragon continues with his agenda to prove anything Indian inferior to anything non-Indian.

Well, Lara is West Indian

 

[G.I.Joe]

That changes everything.

 

[Params7]

Fanboy vote for Dravid.

Tbh, India doesn't even have the best Indians...
