Dravid >= Younis >= Chanders

Don't really have a problem with any order tbf, very similar in quality.

A good territory to be in, I guess.

unlike the heath streak, WPUJC, Dev thread

Younis > Dravid > Chander

Chanders isnt up to the other two.

Dravid slightly over Younis. The only way I can separate the two is that Dravid has a few more big budget performances and series than Younis.

this is like the battle of the guys i always try and stick up for. not fair.

I wonder what Younis legacy would be had he not been banned by the buffoon PCB chairman Ijaz Butt in 2009-2010 which made him miss 12 tests in ENA 5 vs aus, 4 England and 3 vs NZL he was at his peak 32-33 and was really up for the challenge an year earlier he got himself a contract to play a season for South Australia and averages 50 odd for the season he had just taken the captaincy and won the world T 20 championship and was looking to build his legacy but then in a typical Pakiatani fashion there was an uprising against him when 9 players went against him (Afridi was the alleged leader of the conspiracy)and in all the ruckus the PCB ended up banning some of the seniors including younis and yousuf this all lead to Salman butt becoming skipper that lead to spot fixing gate .

I believe YK would have scored quite heavily in the 6 tests vs Aus and NZl the conditions in England were much tougher but he would atleast have scored one or two big ones in his typical manner I believe had he played those series at his supposed peak that would have pushed him higher in to Dravid, Kallis ,Sangakarra territory right not he is slightly below them.

Even if you know or seen a little bit of cricket that was played during those times it is an easy pick

So it’s Khan?

 

[Slifer]

Dravid then Younis then Shiv. But tbh, Shiv is not in the same league as those other two sorry.

Fair enough, just noticed their respective stats were close to similar…so I decided to run them through the CW scanner

 

[Himannv]

All three are underrated I think.

 

[BazBall21]

Rahul Dravid
Shivnarine Chanderpaul ?
Younis Khan

I like them all.

 

[trundler]

Dravid outside Asia, Younis in Asia. Will go with the consensus overall and go with Dravid just ahead. Shiv loses points for Chanderpauling too often but still a great batsman nonetheless.

 

[subshakerz]

Younis needed a monster series in SENA to put him at par with Dravid.

 

[Xuhaib]

Younis needed a monster series in SENA to put him at par with Dravid.

Hence I said the banning of him @ 32 which robbed him of 12 tests in SENA dented his legacy the most I would have backed him to score around 900-1200 @45-50 in those tests.

Dravid , averages 52 outside asia iirc compare to Khan's 38 , Chanders not in contest.
