Are you Rahul Dravid of your team?

In our close circle of friends we have a character who goes by rules/procedures so much that we call him rahul dravid. He is so meticulous that sometimes it hinders the functioning due to over indulgence in technicalities. of course that was a social service work. But i am sure many of us come across such individuals professionally. whether calling such guys rahul dravid is derogatory or honourable?

Having seen the career of rahul dravid, more often than not it helps team in long run. Sehwag style people might be aggressive and game changers.Tendular types people may be all conquering by means of talent, there will be fighters like ganguly or silent performers like kumble or artisitic players like vvs, but having studied impact of performance someone has comeup that dravids contribution to team is supreme. Cricket like Business is team game and oragnization needs all these skills.
But what motivates normal people looking upo dravid that people with normal skills can be winner by means of continuous hard work, study, dedication, determination and discipline. You dont have to be genius like Tendulkar to get those many runs.
another aspect of dravid is abilty and willingness to do anything for team cause be it opening on greentop or keeping wickets.
sometimes he might have got bogged down and sometimes you wonder purpose of batting is to score runs and not just block but more important is context of game. More than often you will find dravid meeting the requirement.
so that completes my eulogies to big 5 of indian cricket.
