Haddin's shot was a total disgrace, 21/5 and he runs down the pitch and does that! I guess Shafiq's dismissal of today is a direct comparison.

Hard to believe that some years ago if you did that in an Australian team, you can kiss your international career goodbye. Damien martyn who was 10 times the player Haddin will ever be, lost much of his career for a similar mistake.

Martyn was in the Australia side at a wrong time, found himself competing for a spot with an all time great XI. In any another era or team, he would have been hailed as one of their premeir batsman. How Australia would wish they had a player of Martyn's class now.

Are you aware of why Martin was dropped from the test team for 7 years? It wasn't just because of the people he was competing with.

Yes, his horrible second innings at Sydney against Saffers. Where he got 6 runs off 60 odd balls and also at the death, gifted his wicket with a lofted cover drive, and Australia failed to chase down 120 odd. Fanie deViliers was deadly that day and was near unplayable. His reputation gone now, and it was always going to be difficult to reenter into one of the greatest test sides of all time.
