Notes : Allan Border Medal 2002
Wisden Cricketer of the
Year 2003
Strength is Matthew Hayden's strength - both mental
and physical. It enabled him to shrug off years of carping that he
was technically too limited for Test cricket because of the way he
plays around his front pad, and it enabled him to touch rarefied
heights of batsmanship. Before his maiden first-class innings, he
asked if anyone had made 200 on debut, then went out and hit 149.
The runs have not abated since. Tall, powerful and equipped with
concentration befitting the triathlete, fisherman and surfer that he
is, he batters the ball at and through the off side for days at a
time. He has made himself reliable in the slips and gully, and is
good for a relieving spell of medium-pace. His earliest Test matches
were exclusively against South Africa and West Indies, a trial for
any opener. They were not auspicious, but patience and willpower
have since won the day, especially since the tour of India in
2000-01, where he slog-swept his way to 549 runs, an Australian
record for a three-Test series. By the end of 2001 he had broken Bob
Simpson's Australian record for most Test runs in a calendar year
and formed a prodigiously prolific opening partnership with Justin
Langer. Belatedly he came good in the one-day arena too, and by the
time the 2003 World Cup rolled around he was ranked among the top
three batsmen in both forms of the game. Later that year he hammered
380 against Zimbabwe at Perth, briefly borrowing the Test-record
score from Brian Lara, and in mid-2004 he was at it again, battering
Sri Lanka for twin centuries that took his tally to 20 in only 55
Tests. Weary through years of plunder and a difficult India tour,
Hayden experienced a rare, extended slump during 2004-05 and was
replaced as one-day opener by Michael Clarke.
