Hear a lot about Sanga changing since being captain, but I never really know what people are referring to.

I know some didn't like Sanga not congratulating Pakistan in last year's T20 WC final. Out of curiosity, what else though?

I've tended to vote for New Zealanders in these battles so far but I have too much admiration for Kumar Sangakkara not to give him my vote.
