I FOUND myself at the Australian nets the other day, and by dint of design happened to be very close to Matthew Hayden.
I FOUND myself at the Australian nets the other day, and by dint of design happened to be very close to Matthew Hayden.
There he was with his luminous pink bat handle, hitting the living daylights out of a cricket ball.
"Hitting it hard" doesn't really do justice to the experience, though; he was flaying the ball, hitting it with such awesome force that I thought the bat blade was going to crack or break.
For a moment or two I was speechless, just happy to watch Hayden go about his work.
As no doubt you will at some point over the coming days curse some South African team players, spare a thought for how good the guys are.
