Hayden rested or dropped?

[King]

Doesn't look like Hayden is rested here. Looks like Hayden has been dropped for a game for his recent comments. Aussies said they were using this game as a rehersal to finals. Australia pretty much is playing their regulars. That pretty much means either the team management or CA reckon Hayden's comments didn't go well with them either. Unless of course Hayden has had a mental breakdown. I won't be surprised if he has found himself into mental health institute after getting involved in this latest controverys. Another arrogant man takes a hit after trying to get over smart.

Dropped implies as negative context. I would call it giving Hayden a "day off to sort things out" Definitely hasnt been rested.

Can't really say, Ravi but Mark Taylor vented it out in front of the camera. If anything, he should have played to show that everything is OK but could be a smart move to let others do the thinking For all we know, he was genuinely rested plus it's a meaningless game

ponting said that hayben hasn't trained the last 3 days because of the saga so he's giving him the day off to get ready for Sunday. Indians better watch out.

Definitely hasnt been rested.

Actually, HAS been rested - due to lack of preparation.
