- Set only 118 to win by England in the first final of the 2002-03 ODI tri-series, Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden came out with serious intent and got the runs inside 13 overs
When Australia bowled, it was a bowlers pitch. When Australia batted, it was a batters pitch
The most dangerous Australian team ever witnessed
I feel so privileged to have lived through this era of Australian cricket. Simply fantastic.
Hayden-gilchrist is the most devastating opening pair in limited overs cricket ever!
Kids after 2010 will never know that chasing 300+ and scoring 118 in 12 overs was a great thing back in those days. Miss those days badly since it was a good competition between batting and bowling .
Such peaceful voices of Bill Lawry and Richie Benaud. 9am and matches in Australia, winter season, cup of tea, pretty much nostalgic!❣️
Those who say Roy Bairstow and Dhawan Sharma are the most dangerous opening batsmen are the ones who don’t know Gilchrist Hayden. What a powerhouse team this was.
That team was truly invincible. If bat first score 300+ consistently and bowls first dismiss opposition for below 200. What a team
Gilchrist was one of kind, clean hook and pull shots. He swivels smooth like a door on hinges
What makes this even better is that Caddick, Hoggard and Anderson are basically England's best ODI bowlers ever and this SCG is 20m longer than the current SCG
James Anderson still running strong from 2002- to 2023..incredible fast bowler ...
Best Australian team.
Richie benaud
Golden era of cricket Australia 90's to upto 2008... they were rulling at that time
Golden time of Australian cricket, when potential Legends were sitting on the bench.
Running 4 at the SCG is unheard of these days.
In my childhood I was scared to see this opening combination...deadly team..
These two would have gone for more than 10cr if there was IPL during their prime. Chasing 118 in 12.2 in 2002 was just ahead of their times. Revolutionary stuff. Same aggressive attitude in all venues and tournaments including the 2003 and 2007 WC knockout matches.
I don't know how Gilly and Haydos didn't put on weight with all the pies the Poms served up to them...
Gilly is arguably Australia’s greatest ever cricketer. An absolute beast in his prime who who could win you a game in a 10 over span in either test or one dayers. Extremely good keeper too. Great person. Legend
