Hayden out of World Cup squad?

Then he would be lauded as a "gritty fighter" and described as an excellent grafter who puts a price on his wicket...

Well... the debate about the world cup place can probably be put to bed now: 117 off 11 balls puts him in pole position for MoM in the current game!

Well, if it good enough for Chappell can have an agenda, then it is good enough for me. But yes you are right Maranello - Queenslanders tend to look out for one another. There is a lot of state pride in Australia

I wonder if Rachael would like to look at the 20 game stats of Hayden and the dopey English top order again seeing as Hayden will now surely be doing better.

Ponting has a particular fondness for Watson. I can see him going to the WC and not Hayden. Hayden might have made his hundred but he was dropped three times. I'll eat my hat if Hayden gets picked. The back up batsman would be Jaques or Voges maybe even Rogers.
