    Rahul Dravid vs Ab De Villiers

    It's mainly due to technique. In his first tour to Asia which was in Srilanka 2006, he played well when team mates were struggling against Murali and Co. In his last tour to sub continent, which was in India 2015, again he was the best among them. In between those years, he scored two double...

    Rahul Dravid vs Ab De Villiers

    The post is approximate for comparing two batsmen from the same team not sure for the batsmen from different teams.

    Rahul Dravid vs Ab De Villiers

    Check the another link in the comment section where he did only for the team mates exlcuding the opponent team. For eg, SA played against WI, that guy did only for SA batsmen and didn't include WI batsmen. Either way, AB fares much better than any other SA batsman.

    Rahul Dravid vs AB de Villiers, who was better against high quality bowling?

    I think due to dry nature of the pitches and ball becomes rough easier.

    Rahul Dravid vs AB de Villiers, who was better against high quality bowling?

    Dood. No batsman is overrated than the batsmen from Top 3 (Aus, Eng, Ind). De Villiers had issues picking leg spinners but was great against off spinners. He was great against seam and good against swing. Check 83 vs NZ in 2012, 97 vs Eng 2008, 104* vs Australia 2009 when the ball was swinging...

    Rahul Dravid vs AB de Villiers, who was better against high quality bowling?

    Well. I take back my statement about that Headingley one. I see the ball swung even after first session though the pitch was not a green mamba. It was not on a road definitely.

    Rahul Dravid vs Ab De Villiers

    Of course. There is one more link to another post in the first comment. That was analysed by another guy. Check that as well. You can see AB much above Kallis and Amla.

    ODIs : Sachin vs ABD

    Sachin's 1998 is so overrated. Scored heavily on flat UAE pitches.

    Sachin + Longevity or AB + Peak

    Rahul Dravid vs AB de Villiers, who was better against high quality bowling?

    Do you think Dravid has?. AB has great knocks against Johnson, Cummins & Hazlewood, Jadeja & Ashwin, Murali. He scored well against them when team mates were struggling on spicy tracks. Not like Dravid who scored on highways most of the times. May be except England. Lol

    Virat Kohli's prime vs Sachin Tendulkar's prime

    Kohli if it is one year peak. Kohli in 2018 was better than Sachin's best in any year. If it's 4 or 5 years peak, Sachin clears for me.

    Jacques Kallis vs AB de Villiers

    That's what I said. Kallis had better longevity. Kallis will be in my all time Test XI and AB won't

    Jacques Kallis vs AB de Villiers

    Not really. AB did much better on low scoring encounters whereas Kallis did well on big scoring games. So the numbers are poorer for AB.

    Jacques Kallis vs AB de Villiers

    What Kallis did better: Playing long innings, Longevity, 100 conversion rate. Numbers are also great for Kallis. What AB did better: Flexibility, Saving the collapses, Counter attacks. AB at his peak was as good as Kallis at his peak. But Kallis eats AB if longevity considered. And Kallis was...

    Dravid if longevity considered. Else AB

    Rahul Dravid vs Ab De Villiers

    Dood. AB has the highest average in the batting collapses among SA batsmen even better than Kallis and Amla. LMAO

    Rahul Dravid vs AB de Villiers, who was better against high quality bowling?

    2011 was a GOATed series. No one can deny that.

    Rahul Dravid vs AB de Villiers, who was better against high quality bowling?

    Amla scored more in the dead rubber. AB scored in the live matches. AB had finger injury in the 3rd match. What Amla did against Australia?? What was Amla doing against Jadeja and Ashwin in Indian spinning tracks?? What he was doing when Johnson was ripping apart South Africa in 2009 and 2014...

    Rahul Dravid vs AB de Villiers, who was better against high quality bowling?

    Check 2018 home series vs India and Australia. He scored a counter attack knock of 65 & 80 against seam/swing and uneven bounce respectively after early wickets fall. Against Aussies he scored a mighty knock of 126* when the ball reverse swinging. Amla fumbled against them.
