From the Vault: Hayden delights Gabba with Ashes-opening 197

Asked to bat first on the opening morning of the 2002-03 Ashes, Matthew Hayden made England pay with a blistering 197.

[@justinlewis8810]

Hayden scored 100's in both innings of this test match. What a beast he was for Aus.

[@alexjones7043]

At the Gabba too! Just beautiful.

[@jazalessandro3094]

Great man,humble & legendary & cricket aus should of blooded him earlier 🙌

[@sudhanshumitra1989]

30 test hundreds in less than 100 matches...98 to be precise..can u say anything about this player..no just one word ....legend...one of the greatest test opener the world has ever seen...

[@CarNNNN]

59.875 - 18 innings - 2 NOs Highest score 203 Chennai - has 2 centuries as an opener on the hardest pitches of all time and averages 59............. EVERYONE would want that.

[@jimmartin9704]

Considering the team he was apart of, he was so dominant. Great player

[@zorrozorro1552]

Hayden walked on 197, that should be worth noticing too.

[@twrampage]

When England loses the Ashes on day one of the first test. I know this wasn't literally what happened but they were up against it before they got drubbed here.

[@jacquialderson9835]

One of the best openers ever

That bold decision made by Nasser after won the toss and sends australia in to bat on an absolute belter...

Mathew Hayden is Goldberg of Cricket.

[@shikhargovil9579]

1:01 hayden mentioned in an interview that he did'nt liked to play this shot as he sometimes was not able to watch the ball for that shot and hence lost control over it. but even his weakness were very difficult to exploit because of his dominance and the way he bullied the bowlers by hammering them.

[@NapoleanB]

Best knock he ever played...After he said in interview

[@Stingman012]

Love that he respects his own religion first before raising his bat

[@yourstruly1234]

What is there to respect in it..it is a personal choice but ideally it should be done in a personal space..

[@thatsbollox]

How to lose the Ashes on Day 1. It must haunt poor Nasser to this day. Hayden/Ponting put on 250 for 2nd wicket. 325/1 Ouch. 6:17 is that iconic Hayden shot we remember and copied by kids world wide. Brutal and so demoralising for any fielding team.

[@nabilmajumder7157]

One of the best leftie!

[@carncats07]

A million times better than that punk Michael Slater, but the NSW bias in selection saw Hayden have to wait behind him for 6 years. When given his opportunity, he took opening batting to a supreme level.

[@ailaaaishapath9823]

Interesting... There were other really exceptional players like Martyn who started off early 90s but became a regular much later due to the intense competition in aussie cricket at the time

[@ray.shoesmith]

Can thank Mark Taylor for that, he was Slaters Wagga bumchum

[@yourstruly1234]

Most unlucky would be Stuart McGill ..in any other era he would have played atleast 100 tests and picked 500 + wickets..
