3/12 not to bad a start, where did these guys come from!!!
Bracken has been tried at test level and failed, he was utterly ineffective against India in 2004.
If there is no swing, he has very few tricks up his sleeve, especially with an old ball or a dead pitch.
His only other real trick is his change of pace, but that is also much less threatening at test level because batsmen can be a lot more conservative with their shot selection.
Doesn't have raw pace, a good bouncer or the consistent line and length to pin a batsman down for very long.
He's a good bowler when he has a newish ball and a batsman playing plenty of shots... i.e he's a limited over hero, but will never be a test player.

Same with South Africa though.
Hayden has retired.
I'd hope the general cricketing public doesn't have short memories when they reflect on his career.
Matty has been an absolute champion for Australian cricket, one of the greatest openers in our cricketing history (possibly the greatest) and a true warrior. Take a bow Haydos.
8624 runs at an average of 50.74 is just phenomenal for an opener.

Yeah read the news just now. I sort of have mixed feelings I was telling a friend right after the Sydney win he had to go. He really battled through the South African series and he really looked out of sorts. Even when he hit a couple of those crisp drives we've come to know, he would look immediately shaky right afterwards, it's clear he either wasn't seeing or picking up the ball as quickly as before and through mixture of other reasons really suffered.
I'm glad he's taken the position to go now, and for all of his detractors out there he's been central cog right at the top for setting the tonne on how Australia did, especially in recent times. It's no secret the two series we've lost Ashes 05 and South Africa, Hayden really struggled.
Funnily thinking about his career, I seem to recall his heroics in the most recent world cup. Just the sheer hunger to score runs and set those massive opening partnerships and basically dominate attacks was awe-inspiring. He will be sorely missed and remain a fantastic player.
By the way is the 20-20 in few hours?

its a shame his batting average doesnt quite do justice to his peak performances however he remains as one of the best openers in the game. well done on a magnificent career haydos, too bad it couldnt go out on a better note. a fully fit and in-form jacques would be the ideal replacement in my books, the guy's first class record speaks for itself.

Yeah, if Warner can turn up and play like he did on Sunday, it'll be a massive achievement.

Yeah, would be unfair if he didn't get a ODI call-up from here.
South Africa's game to lose now.

Cricket the great equalizer, one moment you can take one of the best catches you will ever see, moments latter can be made to look very ordinary. That's what it's such a beautiful game
Mr Cricket hitting the middle of the bat, a relief to some of us.

Noice, good win, tight game, good fun.
Think someone was shining a laser light in that dudes eye when he missed the catch, not Duminy, the other one.
