It's In TeH GaMe !!!

Matthew Hayden has finally announced his retirement from cricket (yeah, all forms of the game). And one thing is for sure, Harbhajan Singh must be enjoying it. And though even I am an Indian, it is a mixed moment for me.

But frankly speaking, I had expected this to happen ever since Hayden returned from India after the Border-Gavaskar test series. So a 17 year old remarkable career has finally met it's end after entertaining a million of people by his swashbuckling performances.

But it doesn't end here. According to Cricinfo, it has been said that he would still be playing for his Indian Premier League team - Chennai Super Kings.

Whatever may have happened, all I can say is "Enjoy your rest of the life Haydo. We'll all miss you".

Kudos to you Haydo !

Australian opener Matthew Hayden has been left out of the 13-man squad for the upcoming ODI and T20 series against South Africa following his poor run.

National Selection Panel Chairman Andrew Hilditch made it clear that the teams were chosen with an eye on the Twenty20 World Cup later this year and 2011 ODI World Cup and also hinting he could not see Hayden playing a role in the two major events.

Though Hilditch also said that Hayden's omission is not because of his recent performances but rather a strategic decision made by the National Selection Panel as planned for these signature events.

I feel this is perhaps the correct decision for now, as in my opinion, Hayden needs a break before he can make a comeback.
