From what I can recall, the only time in his Test career when he didn't bat like a self-destructive egomaniac (and by extension, with the attitude that you note) is during an Indian Test match in Chennai - in 1999.Well I can't say I've studied every innings extensively (probably haven't even watched half of them), but I thought that, 2003-2006, he played with a I-don't-care attitude that wasn't always 100% discernible before then.
He actually did manage to pull off one (given the circumstances) well-planned innings during the 2003-2006 period - in an ODI, surprisingly. In Hobart, playing Australia, I remember (by his standards), him batting like a normal batsmen at the death - settling in for a few deliveries and then teeing off. He scored 56, IIRC.
Throughout his career, he has generally not changed his attitude - his debut 100 was proof positive of that. As I explained to you some months earlier, this is due to his pathological inability to change his batting style, despite his realisation of the inherent flaws which come with his brand of batsmanship.
