Dravid has taken the vast majority of his catches from spinners -- 99 from Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh alone -- a feat that Waugh rates highly because there is often less time to react.

Waugh, however, was not ready to judge a slipper on the great catches they take but on the number of catches they dropped.

"I actually think they should have a statistic of how many catches you drop, like baseball - that's probably the best judge of how good a catcher you are," Waugh was quoted as saying by 'Sydney Morning Herald'."Obviously there's reflexes, there's hand-eye co-ordination and there is concentration and you probably need all three in both (batting and fielding)," he said.

Waugh said Australian captain Ricky Ponting, who has racked up 148 catches in 131 Tests, would be the one who can dislodge Dravid.

Among current players, only Graeme Smith (104 catches from 77 Tests) is likely to challenge the top order.

Sachin Tendulkar admits that the current success the Indian team is going through are the most exciting times of his career.

The master batsman, who has 85 international hundreds - 42 in Tests and 43 in ODIs - said team's victory in New Zealand was indeed satisfying.

"It is good for Rahul (Dravid) and myself to be part of a winning team here. We've been here on earlier tours, but it wasn't so good. But it is better late than never.

"It is exciting time for Indian cricket. It has been quite satisfying. The Test victory is very special. We have been able to achieve that in the last few years wherever we have travelled. I am glad that we made it possible here as well," said Tendulkar, who had a strenuous net session at the Eden Park.

MS Dhoni's disposable and the vast experience key players such as Sachin Tendulkar (157 Tests), Rahul Dravid (132), VVS Laxman (103), Virender Sehwag (67) and Zaheer Khan (63) possess, it would be a brave person who backed against the in-form and confident Indians to end their poor run in New Zealand.

Black Caps wicket-keeper Brendon McCullum admits the home side cannot match India for experience but insists they are gaining plenty from the batting master-classes being given by the tourists.

New Zealand's top six - Tim McIntosh (three), Martin Guptill (one), Daniel Flynn (10), Ross Taylor (15), Jesse Ryder (seven) and James Franklin (24) - have just 60 Test caps between them.
