Gill should have been higher.

Sanga ahead of Dravid I think.

I don't rate Sanga that high. I saw his entire career. Taken togther., he was missing against better teams home+away both. In fact, his team mate Jayawarende stepped up at home against better teams.

 

[Randomfan]

If I take Sanga not as keeper duration then he goes above Dravid for me.

That is a small sample size though then, vs top teams away from home.
Excluding Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, he only played 27 away tests (non keeper)

Dravid better against swing and also against medium pace... Even high quality medium pacers too

Relatively weak against bounce though but yes better against lateral movement.

Sachin.
Sunny.
Dravid.
Sanga.
Miandad.

I think it's debatable, but I have Dravid slightly ahead

I'd say Sangakkara edges out Dravid, though not by a wide margin—mainly because he often had to shoulder the burden of a weaker batting lineup, especially in overseas conditions.

Nah. Which teams was Sanga missing against?

They are similar in records but Sanga had an extra gear and was better rated.

No point debating with random fan—he’ll just spam his Statsguru screenshots with top 4/5 team filters, until he proves he's right lol

Javed has much better record vs eng and nz. Kohli had atleast one poor series in every country except sa. Also don't rate maindad's hundred in 88 vs wi because Marshall missed the match

 

[govinda indian fan]

Eng & nz= dravid
Sa&aus=sanga

Javed scored two tons in 88, the second against Marshall in the 4th innings to save and nearly win the game.

Sanga has an ATG level series against Bond in NZ.

Sanga has an ATG level series against Bond in NZ.

Sanga has 3 ATG hundreds including double. He's the best bat to tour New Zealand.
