You should get first prize in criticizing some one like Dravid who is so humble. He has given his entire life for Indian Cricket.No one is obsessed with him. Cricket lovers adore him.

Nice question. But things depend on how does one define "top-order". \n\nIf top-order means Batsmen #1, 2 and 3, the below are the results:\n\nGlenn D McGrath: 219 wickets\nC. Walsh: 177 wickets\nKapil Dev: 175 wickets\nMuralitharan: 166 wickets\nR. Hadlee: 158 wickets\nShane Warne: 158 wickets\nAnil Kumble: 150 wickets\n\nObviously, we have fast bowlers higher on the list as spinners don't usually have a crack at opening batsmen.\n\nJust in case top-order would be defined as Batsmen from #1 to #7, here is the list of top wicket takers in tests:\n\nMuralitharan: 455 wickets\nShane Warne: 432 wickets\nGlenn D McGrath: 408 wickets\nAnil Kumble: 365 wickets\nC. Walsh: 356 wickets\nKapil Dev: 311 wickets\nR. Hadlee: 302 wickets

sourav aint carryin' a gud attitude..agreed! but i really dun think d cricket board shud treat him d way they hv in d recent past..puttin him in and out so frequently knowingly dat he's d most successful captain India has ever produced..includin' him in tests and not in ODI's when dey know he's made 10,000+ runs in d latter form of d game... how can u expect him to perform at his best today whn he's again knocked of d one-day squad yes'day???

He is right person to be a captain of the team. He consistent than any other best batsmen in the world. The way he builds his innings is superb. Right now he is the only one took pakistan cricket to that level. His body doesn't cooprate with him in the fielding and running between wickets. Now he is having wounderful time in cricket.

India have the trumph card in the form of harbajan as far as i am concerned. He is the experienced player and the experience shows. After  a blistering start by windies he and agarkar restricted the scoring rate and eventually windies could score only 250, 25  runs short which looked very much possible. \n\nHarbajan great job done!

My dear friend, it´s Steve Waugh who holds this record. He has 25 hundreds out of his 32 in winning cause.\n\nAnd as it was expected, Gavaskar holds the record for maximum hundreds in drawn matches. He made 22 hundreds in Drawn matches out of his 34.\n\nRawal.

In one-day cricket it's Mohammad Azharuddin. In test cricket, it's jointly held by.... Azharuddin (again!) and Kapil Dev.  \n\nODI: 62 balls Azharuddin (vs New Zealand) \nTest: 74 balls Azharuddin (vs South Africa). 74 balls Kapil Dev (vs Sri Lanka) \n\nInteresting facts about Azhar's century: During Azhar's fastest test century, Indians were sturggling to avoid follow-on when Azhar smashed swashbuckling 109(from 77 balls), well supported by Anil Kumble who made 88. They added 161 runs for the 8th wicket (Indian record) and saved the follow-on. Azhar also smashed 5 consecutive 4s of Lance Klusener's over. Klusener, however, came back with 8 wickets in the second innings.

here's a joke:\nChappel  and Co. asked a jyotisi how to improve the performance of team india. he replied that the only solution is to make chappel the coach.\n"But he is already our coach" everyone shouted.\nJyotisi: Not ur coach. But of the team ur playing against.\n\nI guess u know my answer.

GANGULY LOST HIS SELF-CONFIDENCE.\nCAN YOU SAY FRANKLY, HOW MUCH MATCHES HE TOOK TO SCORE  9000-10000 RUNS?\n\nFIRST HE NEEDS A COUNSELLING.\nHE MUST RE-GAIN HIS SELF-CONFIDENCE FIRST.\nAFTER THAT, SELECTORS AND COACH FIND NO WAY TO IGNORE GANGULY.

He is a great middle-order batsman and can consolidate the innings of his whole team and pull them out of any problem. He is the future captain of India, and is presently (since 1 year) the batsman with most runs. He also represents India in the top 10 batsmen in ODIs.\nTo sum it up- he is great!!

first of all,\nkudos to you for asking a very different and intelligent question\n yes i agree completely, a batsman like dravid for example is considered to be technically one of the best batsman in the world right now because of his ability to successfully tackle all kinds of oppositions under different playing conditions.Thus a batsmen who has his basics right and plys 'textbook' shots having also a solid defence is going to survive all kinds of attacks\n though let me say that such kind of play requires lots of patience and hardwork so it is kinda difficult even for the likes Dravid to play like this always.
