I agree with you Ninjaman. Hayden is a matchwinner and would make it into any other team in the world. But the others are correct that their is some pressure beginning to build on Hayden from the likes of Watson and Jacques.

At the end of the day though, experience is crucial - particularly in the high pressure situation of WC finals, so i expect Hayden to be in the West Indies come march.

As for Chappelle - he often has an agenda, and has never liked Mathew Hayden. I will never forget him describing Hayden's maiden test century against the West Indies (Adelaide 1997) as "the worst century i have ever seen"
