As has often been said in the past, "it is for some, more difficult to get out of the Australian side than it was to get into it in the first place". Matthew Hayden has been great and he is certainly capable of coming out and having a good innings or even two in this next Test BUT it was time for him to go. Give another batsman a "go" as part of a prudent re-building process. I know about making brave but prudent Test selections. For example, I brought Ian Redpath into my "backyard cricket" Test team long before the then Australian Test selectors gave him a chance in the early 1960s. Ronnie C next door thought I was mad but history proved me to be correct. I did, however, stick with Norm O'Neill through "thick and thin" but at least that was for good reason, I had a Norm O'Neill bat. Another example of foresight shown by me was bringing fast-medium pacer, Neil Hawke (RIP) into the Team. I liked his name. I also wasn't too proud/stubborn to borrow players from other nations. In my world, Australian citizenship was something that could be organised with a stroke of a pen. Rohan Kanhai was one my favourites. This sort of action is called "initiative". Not a lot needs to change in the Australian team to make them very competitive but an awful lot needs to change to again make them the dominant team in the world.
