take it easy sachin...

sachin's captaincy in ipl for mumbai indians reminds me of his captaincy stints in 90s...

even yesterday he was over the top... animated... expressive... and so volatile... that he was putting his colleagues under undue pressure... goes to show even if the time changes... some things never change...

often his stifling method of captaincy is mistaken for passion... coz i have seen captains leading teams with equal passion but less histrionics in the middle...

its good that mumbai indians are winning so nobody is talking about his captaincy otherwise there would have been many questions raised by now about the way he handles team in the middle...

take it easy sachin... let the boys relax a bit... that does not mean they will do job with less zest and focus... in fact they would do it better if given space to enjoy the challenge at hand...

SP, Sachin has been fined again for slow over-rate, this time USD 40,000 and next offence would invite a ban. I think it's this fear of parting with money and inviting a ban that is playing on his nerve:)

no surprises here... i was telling my bro that he gonna get that...

apart from the reason you have mentioned... he seems very obsessive about mi chances this time... which could also be the reason...

but a delhi fan in me do not want him to be banned for our match... i want our team to beat them in their own den... in sachin's presence... :)

a bit unfair on Sachin. I see many captains doing worse but not getting half the criticisms.

Ganguly is usually aloof in the field but when his team is winning, he gives so many advices.. as if to be on the camera so that everyone thinks it is because of his captaincy that they are winning. the stare he gave to Kartik when he didnt go for the Sachin catch wasn't too encouraging either.

Kumble.. though he is winning matches, is much more harsh on the fielders than Sachin. His stare is so scary that the fielder remains scared rest of the match thinking what will happen later.

lazy... the difference is sachin does a ganguly and kumble combined irrespective of they are winning or losing...

another reason is... he seems so consumed in doing everything so perfect that at times it seems stifling to me...
