Obviously, the Don is number 1, but who is number 2?

Leave Bradman out at Old Trafford

It's between Dravid and Viv imo. Can go either way here.

went Richards myself, his record is on par with Dravid and Smith imo but also because his style is the direct opposite of what's generally considered success-oriented in England, and he was an influence on English Cricket adter 76.

ATG, and that double ton is among the very best in England Ever by a tourist. Below Dravid and Viv and probs Smith though, alongside the other Smith and the Aussie 5/6 captain duo.

if England had put up a 500 target that day, It probably wouldn't have mattered.

2011 was peak Broad and Great Anderson though, with Tremlett being very good and Swann for support. Early career Dravid scored against thrashy English attacks, so did late career Viv. Overall think they played Equalish bowling.

so Viv dominating Botham means peak Botham wasn't good huh?

I guess that means all of Sachin's runs against Warne are invalid, good to know.

Lol not invalid. I love viv to moon. I rate him higher then many here(more then you) but imo in england dravid just ahead of viv. Just my opinion

that's a fine opinion to have but dismissing runs against peak Botham, who going into the series had taken 139 wickets @ 18.53, is just so weird.
