and give someone else the bat'...
this was ben's response to the SMH article this morning suggesting that matthew hayden has decided to continue in his spot as opening batsman...
have to tell you, i agree with ben! don't get me wrong, hayden has been one of australia's most solid openers for many years, but in the last few series his form has been questionable...and by questionable i mean well below his best...
a part of me wonders why people choose to go on past their best? maybe he can't see a life for himself outside of cricket? maybe he doesn't think there's anyone better than him to open the batting right now (altho arguably that's not his decision), maybe he thinks that his previous form will return?
who really knows what's going thru his head? difficult decision for him no doubt...but for someone who has contributed so much to the game, is he comfortable with letting people remember his current form? coz seriously, people rarely remember the good times when the not so good times are the last they see...
peter roebuck - are you there? what do you have to say about all of this?
