Mumbai: Indian paceman Shanthakumaran Sreesanth is regularly
in the firing line for his hot-headed approach to cricket but a
countryman who is already a world champion has advised him against
dousing that fire in his belly.
Viswanathan Anand is the polar
opposite to Sreesanth who proved the one weak link in India's opening
Cricket World Cup win over Bangladesh on Saturday with some extremely
aggressive but wildly erratic bowling.

Whereas
Sreesanth's emotions are there for all to see, the cool, calm and
collected 41-year-old Anand is a master at keeping his in check. But
then world chess champions in general are hardly noted for wearing their
hearts on their sleeves.
Anand in his sport is master, literally, of all he surveys, with world championships in all formats and time controls.
"I
wouldn't tell him anything," Anand told Reuters in an interview,
appropriately enough in a museum where you could hear a pin drop. Just
the kind of atmosphere that Anand thrives in.
There was no one formula to success, Anand believes.
"I
do what works for me. I guess he does what works for him. I don't think
there is one single formula that you follow," Anand explained.
"I think you have to know yourself well and find what works for you.
"If you like kicking a rope then go for it. If it works for you then no one can argue with that."
Anand
was referring to the incident when the temperamental pace bowler was
fined 10 per cent of his match fee for kicking the boundary rope after
he had two lbw appeals turned down in the same over during a test match
against South Africa.
