Why Rahul Dravid is the greatest test batsman ever

Some say Don Bradman some say Sachin Tendulkar while others say it's Gavaskar but here is why I think Rahul was the greatest test batsman ever in the history of the game. It is not easy being a no.3 in tests and being able to carry it off for as long a period of time as Rahul Dravid you have to give it to the man..what is he made of?Steel?Iron?I mean just look at the kind of solidity he brought to a team like India..where all were stroke-makers and if not for Dravid I don't think we would have done so well in test cricket over the years. Sachin and Sehwag took all the acclodes and limelight but remember Dravid was the backbone even before the emergence of Sehwag..we hardly had any good openers before Sehwag but Dravid negated it with his impeccable technique..have we ever thought how the Indian innings hold together?All Because of the Wall!
