The former England cricket captain Mike Atherton conclusively wrote in The Telegraph,
For Dravid there were the spoils of victory...For Lara there were only recriminations, as he blamed a losing start to his third tenure on the selectors, the pitches and just about everything else except his own leadership.
Dravid was instrumental in India's historic 1-0 series victory in Caribbean islands. For Dravid the team ethic is everything, explains Mike Atherton. Dravid knows how to deal with the situation. He never boosts his egoism, which is a good sign of leadership quality and a rare trait in great sportsmen.
