    Shouldn't, but it definitely will.

    If Hayden's still in the team in 4 years time something is very wrong.

    But you can't depend on luck. What'll happen in the WI when the other teams manage to hold their catches?

    Indeed it is, I just went by there today.

    Okay, if they make more than 260 I'll make Hayden my avatar.

    With so many wickets in hand they should be pushing six, it's a waste of an excellent middle order otherwise. I'm in Parkwood right now.

    With only 1 wicket down on a decent track, scoring at just over 5 isn't exactly ideal.

    I'm watching the game. Assuming the opposition drop anything he hits at them in every game, he'll be a fine addition to the one day team circa 1992.

    Gilchrist shows Hayden how to get caught, you've got to hit it hard.

    He averages over fifty in 2nd innings and 32 in first innings. Cricinfo even covered it in 'The Numbers Game' a year or two ago, as one of the biggest disparities for established players. I will grant that for the couple of years after his first Indian tour he put up some good 1st innings...

    That he scored a lot of his runs in small chases with a lot of not outs, but tended to leave it to the rest of the batting order when it really mattered.

    I said one day batsman, and I don't make my assessments based on ICC rankings, which I don't think are accurate anyway. He was never the best one day batsman in the world, those rankings have no bearing on context.

    He's not ranked 1 anymore, he's ranked 39th, and the rest of the order is in the top 12. Even when he was highly ranked it was dubious. Jaques has made 80-odd already this morning, he made a fifty the other day. He's the perfect partner to Gilchrist, he's capable of big innings, batting first or...

    He's never been a great One Day batsman. He was playing like this when he was dropped the last time in 2005, there's nothing recent about this.

    The thing is, these kind of chases were usually the only time Hayden would get on top of ODI attacks. He can't even do that anymore.

    This right here is a concept that the selectors and the commentators for that matter have to seriously rethink. A good scoring rate in tests is still laughably slow in one day cricket, just the way consistent line and length is good in test matches, but as Clark so often shows, will get you...

    I wouldn't put Katich within a 100 miles of the team. Again, what does he bring to the team? His fielding is overrated, he doesn't bowl, he doesn't make runs, or if he does he makes them in pissy chases like these (compare his first innings stats to his 2nd innings stats), and when he does make...

    Why, what does he bring to the one day team?

    Tony can't remember when Hayden's had a strike-rate like this. Why do they persist with the idea that Hayden is somehow an aggressive ODI batsman in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary?

    But he was so good in the last world cup, that innings against a tough Namibian side proves his worth in big tournaments.
