So far as I am able to judge, nothing has been left undone, either by man or nature, to make INDIA the most extraordinary country that the sun visits on his rounds. Nothing seems to have been forgotten, nothing overlooked--Mark Twain.

Hayden--Third Rated $$
"Often we find ourselves waiting with hands on hips for someone to face up or someone on the sight board to move away or some of those little frustrations happening with third world countries," Hayden was quoted as saying by Australian newspaper The Daily Telegraph.
This is Australian opener Mathew Hayden after returning from India and smarting from the 2-0 humiliation at the hand of the India Cricket Team.The Australians might be in mental shock and might be unable to accept the fact that their aura of invincibility is gone forever..
Hayden says Indian batsmen were not quickly facing up to the Aussie bowlers..!!!
The actual fact is even a club level batting line up will be queueing up to face the current Aussie bowling line up which had part-time bowler Cameroon White as the No.1 spinner for most of the India tour..!!
Another of Mr.Hayden's point.People moving infront of sight board..
This happens all over the world..Not only in India..So let's leave it at that..
Would have happened even when India was bowling..
Hayden is just searching for an excuse for the inexplicable decisions taken by his captain Ponting..
It's better if the Aussies can accept defeat gracefully..
Now coming to Hayden calling India a "third world country"..
If the quoted sentence is read again,the message that's coming out is the contempt he has for India.
His Australia might be a "First world country" for him..
May not be for others..
India,by all means is more powerful and more influential in the world than Australia..
Economically,Militarily,morally..
The simple question to Hayden is..Why,then,he played in the Indian Premier League(IPL) earlier..
He is a national player for Australia,his "First world country"..
Why come to India,suffer all sorts of problems he mentioned in his quotes just to play in a domestic 20-20 competition..!!
Obvisouly because by playing even a few matches in IPL,he was able to earn many times more than what he would have earned playing for the Australian national side for a whole year..!!!
That's the truth..
Almost the entire Australian players played in different IPL teams..
Even retired Aussie greats like McGrath,Warne.
I leave this here..Just look at the contradiction in what Hayden says and what his and his colleagues' deeds suggest..
Hayden will do well to remember that India might be a developing country,but India is a far far far superior,greater,stronger,bigger country than Australia..
So better put that ugly blabbering TONGUE INSIDE and score some runs...!!
