Matthew Hayden's biggest fan: Usain Bolt

Well, the Olympics are over and I'm already going into sports withdrawal - falling from 24/7 sports coverage to one Broncos game each weekend is one helluva come down. And while the chances of cricket becoming an Olympic sport look as likely as a Shane Warne comeback, there was one cricket mention during the Olympics when Usain Bolt mentioned he would love to meet Matthew Hayden.

Colour me surprised. Maybe being an Australian cricket fan and a Queenslander, familiarity breeds contempt. Usain Bolt probably hasn't been exposed to Hayden's psychobabble like blaming the Ashes 2005 loss on God or expressing disappointment at getting bitten by a dog. And Hayden's reaction to Bolt's surprise confession doesn't disappoint:

"It's pretty humbling isn't it for an old fisherman and surfer in Queensland who now and then plays a bit of cricket,"

"Who now and then plays a bit of cricket"?! Classic Hayden pretension. It's like hearing him boast "if smashing 380 Test runs off a minnow side on a flat pitch makes me a hero, well, call me a hero". Well, he hasn't said that yet but keep your ears peeled.

LOL! When talking to Iceland reporters, he probably tells them he's got all of Bjork's greatest hits on his ipod.

I think Hayden always deserves accolades,because he is a man of great character and determination or else who can make a such a comeback after an early setback

Tendulkar declared fit for Test rubber against Australia

Friday, September 26, 2008 8:13:03 PM

Mumbai: India's hopes got a big boost ahead of the tough four-Test series against Australia today when injured master batsman Sachin Tendulkar was declared fit for the high-profile contest commencing on October 9 at Bangalore.

"A report submitted by Paul Close (National Cricket Academy physio) states that the player has recovered fully from his elbow injury. Tendulkar will join the camp (at Bangalore from September 30) prior to the series," a BCCI media release said here today.
Tendulkar suffered the elbow injury while fielding in the third Test against Sri Lanka in August and has not played any competitive cricket since then.

He was named in the Rest of India squad, now playing in the Irani Cup tie against Ranji winners Delhi at Vadodara, before pulling out of the match on medical advice following a feeling of slight stiffness in the injured joint read moe on www.cricketnirvana.com

Hayden isn't that great in my opinion. A flat track bully
