30 test hundreds in less than 100 matches...98 to be precise..can u say anything about this player..no just one word ....legend...one of the greatest test opener the world has ever seen...
59.875 - 18 innings - 2 NOs Highest score 203 Chennai - has 2 centuries as an opener on the hardest pitches of all time and averages 59............. EVERYONE would want that.
When England loses the Ashes on day one of the first test. I know this wasn't literally what happened but they were up against it before they got drubbed here.
Winning the toss and sending Matthew Hayden, in the prime of his career, in to bat at the Gabba. I dare anyone to find a worse decision by a Test Captain.
i think this is the only channel who shares the best quality videos of cricket. I saw no other channel sharing such quality stuff. I always enjoy watching this channel whole day. I wish some other countries could also have their respective official channels to show us the HD matches and clips from their archives
1:01 hayden mentioned in an interview that he did'nt liked to play this shot as he sometimes was not able to watch the ball for that shot and hence lost control over it. but even his weakness were very difficult to exploit because of his dominance and the way he bullied the bowlers by hammering them.
How to lose the Ashes on Day 1. It must haunt poor Nasser to this day. Hayden/Ponting put on 250 for 2nd wicket. 325/1 Ouch. 6:17 is that iconic Hayden shot we remember and copied by kids world wide. Brutal and so demoralising for any fielding team.
@@akhtaruzzamanjoy8524 Mathew Hayden had a test strike rate of 60 while Sehwag had one of 83, FC^4 made a factual claim about the nature of their records.
A million times better than that punk Michael Slater, but the NSW bias in selection saw Hayden have to wait behind him for 6 years. When given his opportunity, he took opening batting to a supreme level.
Interesting... There were other really exceptional players like Martyn who started off early 90s but became a regular much later due to the intense competition in aussie cricket at the time
