King Tendulkar Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hayden retained for final test. Fails there I am sure he will be axed. These aussies are a disgrace hanging on and not retiring. Greedy and self obssessed they are. They should learn from indian ala dada and jumbo on how to retire gracefully Link to comment
cochise Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Yes...he should play for at least another ten years. Link to comment
SachDan Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I won't quit, have a responsibility to help new faces: Hayden:hysterical::hysterical: MELBOURNE: Critics have been baying for his head, but Australian opener Matthew Hayden says he wants to carry on as he believes he has the responsibility to usher in a new generation. "It's our jobs as senior players to base and create a foundation in the baggy green ... which as senior players we have to instil," Hayden said. "There's a responsibility for senior players to stand up," he added. Hayden conceded he has been dreadfully out of touch with just 79 runs from seven innings, but pointed out he had thrived after being written off before. "I have been written off many times and I have really loved and thrived on the fact that I have come back. I felt like through my career I have never been first picked in the side." "This five days (in the third Test), for me it's all I'm concentrating on, and then whatever comes after that, that's a new day. I am going to go in with a certain strategy and a clear mind and enjoy whatever result may come." Hayden even got support from unexpected quarters with South African coach Micky Arthur backing him to play in the Ashes this year. Arthur is worried by the prospect of a Hayden returning to form in the third Test at the SCG as he claimed South Africa's ability to subdue the batting veteran had plunged Australian cricket into crisis with their first home series loss after 1992-93. "We are fearing a resurgent Matthew Hayden at the SCG. Hayden is a legend of the game. I know he is a fighter and it looks like his Test career is on the line. Hayden and Graeme Smith are the two guys in world cricket with the most presence." "When they play well the others follow. We are expecting Hayden to come out fighting. Our ability to keep Hayden under pressure has given us the ability to win two games out of two," he was quoted as saying by the Daily Telegraph . Arthur said the opener is the man who can save Australian cricket with a momentous fight for the Ashes looming. "I think Australia need him for the Ashes. You need his experience for a series like that, especially if you are bringing in a couple of new guys. You need experienced hands and Hayden is one of those experienced hands," Arthur said. http://cricket.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/I_have_a_responsibility_to_help_new_faces/articleshow/3925924.cms Link to comment

King Tendulkar Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 Hayden is a chump and should retire. The fact he waffled about a senior like him contributing more then just runs is pathetic. Basically he says even though I dont score runs, I contribute so much in dressing room that I should still be picked. Can you imagine if Dravid said that, he would be hung, drawn and quatered.

King Tendulkar Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 More like axed. Seems to be selfish and wont retire:--D Link to comment
The Outsider Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 This is truly pathetic stuff by Hayden - if an Indian player had said something remotely similar he would have been hung by his balls. "Keep me in the team not for my runs, but dressing room tips". Brilliant. I hope the Aussies keep on playing him till his average drops below 50 - someone with a pathetic away average of 40 does not deserve to be classified as a great. Link to comment
