Aussie selectors are the main problem

[beeroclock]

Haydens spent, reflexes are no longer up too international standard thats why he goes the slap,no longer has confidence in his old game he knows it as well,looks old at the crease and no longer has control,needs to show some real balls and hand over to the future no matter what he scores,reckon he wants one more ton before he signs off selfish p***k.

I take it you didn't see his gentle push onto the on-side which brought about multiple runs today (4 of them I reakon it was)

One shot doesnt make an innings but hell if it's a good one may well life the confidence hope he goes on and get a ton 2morrow

That's what I'm hoping; he can do it, just more of the same of what he did tonight will get him there. However, those cracks will probably ensure he gets a shooter and will fall short of it.

I hope he gets a big score.

We owe him.

[Gozu]

We owe him nothing. As harsh as this may sound I hope he doesn't get a big score in this final innings. Why? Because it will mean he will be dragged over to South Africa next month and if so there is no way we will go with a fresh opener in the Ashes so he will be coming along for that too. If we knew he was going to retire after this Test sure I'd love to see a big score. But sadly too much money to be made and too big an ego.

He's done, finished. You could see it India that the shot selection, timing and footwork are all gone and when they all go at 37 it means goodbye. After India I said the selectors should give him the NZ series and if he fails to make runs against that lot he couldn't be risked for this South Africa series. Low and behold not only have we carried him through this entire series but his demise has been a big part in why we've lost this series. If it wasn't for the tail where would our batting be?

I really did used to like watching him bat but now he just looks sad. Like a bum drunk throwing haymakers trying to hit himself out of trouble. He should've been out in the first over too. I suspected his career would be over after all the injury issues through the end of last summer into the IPL and then being sent home from the West Indies tour before it even started. I think he missed that ODI series in Darwin too. He's hung around for a year too long and now we're paying the price.

The selectors should be shot if they are even half serious about taking him to England after the debacle we're witnessing right now.

I'll agree it's time for Hayden to go, bring in Phil Hughes I reckon for the South African series. Could make a name for himself on Test Crickets biggest stage that being The Ashes....

[Pidge]

Go Hayden!! People on this site are quick to turn on players as we have seen before. Hopefully he makes a big score. Anyway who can we replace him with? Phil Hughes? Who is he?? Played 2 games for NSW and should be in the Australian team. Dont think so!

[Psyber]

In professional sport these days the players are blinded by the money and therefore don't heed the signs that their reflexes are slowing down.
The public and the selectors now have to tell them as they won't make the decision for themselves.

How bout C.Rogers, has made runs as an opener for many seasons now. I didn't turn on Hayden, the fact is hes 37 and past it. He's been getting a free ride all Summer. He needs to look at the bigger picture, hes had his time and it has been a wonderful career, time to throw someone else in and give them a chnace to be settled before the ashes begins. I would hate to see him being dropped midway through an ashes series and being the target of the media as a major reason why Australia lost the ashes.Also his once high average is about to drop under 50, and that would be a shame, as 50 is the bechmark for the top notch players.

[LaughingKookaburra]

If I remember correctly pidge how old was Hayden when he got his 1st go?? Short memory my friend,dont think Hayden toiled away without a test until 2000. He was on the 1993 Ashes tour as a 21 y.o,did he toil away for years to get his first chance?? Im not turning on him,he should have gone when his achillies went a year ago. I think he needs to be honest with himself and Australian cricket.....

[Ned]

Here we go again, these selectors are driving me Krazy. C. White not allowed to play in wednesdays elimenation KFC 20/20 final because of Australian commitments. If Victoria lost that game they would not of gone on to the champions league in India, October next year, a tournament worth 9 million dollars to the winners. Luckily the Vics did win thanks to another MOM from B. Hodge. The point I am making is that if White wasnt allowed to play along with D.Hussey and J.Hopes why isnt White playing today.

[Hondo]

He's part of the squad Ned

The squad travels together as a squad so that selections can be made as late as possible. Rather than flying players around the country at the last minute to they can meet every single state commitment. The D on White may not have been made until this morning, not 2 days ago.

Unfortunately there's always going to be a 12th and 13th man who miss out on playing at all, but that's life

How come the selectors have changed thier thinking Hondo, White was allowed to play in wednesdays FR cup game but not for the 20/20 finals, same situation I would think. Vic would be dirty if they lost the elimination final of the 20/20 and the chance to win 9 million in the champions league.
