Sigh. This is an easy one:I'd rather watch paint dry than watch Dravid bat, Boxing Day we saw an incredible innings that, at one stage, was about 3 off 50 balls. The 'If you're bored stand up' chant reverberated around the ground as everyone stood up. Besides that, I think Kallis has achieved more, he was the best batsman in the world at one stage, a mantle which I'm pretty sure Dravid has never held.
Rahul Dravid test ranking. He was best in the world during the following periods:
2-28 January, 1999
6 October 2004 - 24 March 2005 (a period of almost 6 months)
Not to mention the fact that you are judging him based off 1-2 series. I can assure he was quite exciting to watch when he added 180 along with Laxman's 281 to decimate the Aussies in Kolkata in 2001.

And a Kallis vs. Dravid ranking comparison can be found here. Kallis has been pretty consistent but as you can see he has not been best in the world on two completely separate occasions.
