Matt hayden may win all the accolades in the world but he wiil never acheive the superstar status of brian lara due to a few facts. Ugly incidents concernig members of touring parties and his not so gentlemanly conduct on field has marred his image as a gentlemen cricketer what lara was so well known for.
No doubt Hayden is one of the best batsmen in the world with the prowess to dismantle any bowling attack in the world except perhaps his own. His crisp strokes and wondrfully aggressive style has won him tons of admirers but his sledging hasd not.
Plus the fact that the record came against Zimbabwe the minnows of test cricket further narrows the legitemicy of his claim to fame. Is Hayden the real aussie hero?
Waht about Taylor who sacrificed a spot on the top of cricketing everest out of respect for the great Don Bradman.
Although we all agree that matt Hayden is probably one of the best batsmen in the world right now he cetainly isn't the best nor does he deserve the title of highest scorer.
One last bit of advice to matt and cricketers in general, Clean up Ur Game!
