Sachin is not nervous, its us who are nervous when he is on nineties

We all know Sachin Tendulker has been out on nervous nineties several occasions, But we must admit that he played the most number of test matches. And also we care his record most, lot of other great players have more frequent nineties than Sachin Tendulker. Comparing the matches and innings he played and the number of nineties, he is out for nervous ninety once in every 30.3 innings and 18.4 Test. Lets compare that with other players.
Sachin Tendulker 10 nineties in 184 Matches and 303 innings, Once every 30.3 innings
Rahul Dravid 10 nineties in 160 Matches and 278 innings, scored a ninety once in every 27.8 innings.
Steve Waugh 10 nineties in 168 Matches and 260 innings, Once every 26 innings
Michael Slater 9 nineties in 74 matches and 131 innings, Once every 14.55 innings
Allvin kallicharan 8 in 66 Matches and 109 innings, Once every 13.62 innings
Inzamam ul Huq 8 in 120 Matches and 200 innings, Once every 25 innings
Mathew Hayden  7 in 103  Matches and 184 innings, Once Every 26.28 innings

Which means he is not the most nervous, its just that we care him the most. And if he failed to score a hundred we are disappointed.  Same number of nineties has happened for Rahul Dravid also, how many of us knows this. Dravid started his career in 1995 and Sachin 1989. Dravid played only 160 Matches where as Sachin has played 184. Still we remember only Sachin's nineties. For all those Sachin Haters,  Check these statistics before criticizing.
