It was an approach which largely worked, though occasionally came unstuck. Most notably for Hayden, during the 2005 Ashes series he was troubled by the pace and swing of England's rejuvenated and mint-powered attack.

It's the only explanation which stands up for that result

But...(and I wanted to keep my but to a new post so as not to overshadow the praise)

"Hayden's muscular stroke play hardly evoked memories of Alan Kippax or David Gower, left-handers regarded highly for their elegance."

...Kippax was a right hander. Change Alan Kippax to Frank Woolley and you're golden.

Cheers mate - always thought he was left handed. I'll do that.
