How can you not like this man

[@benhall2307]

I have loved Matthew Hayden since he debut for Queensland. He was THE most dominant opening batsmen to ever play the game. Congrats Haydos, your an absolute legend.

[@sam9239]

Great speech. Pleasure to grow up watching the likes of Haydos and co play. Avid India fan here, who has an Indian background living in Australia. It's been an honour to call this country my home just so I could grow up watching such great players from this country show why they were the best around. Awesome players even more awesome country. Thanks Haydos and thanks Australia

For us Indians beating Australia in Australia in Tests is the holy grail. (Not achieved yet). Good to know Aussies take pride in beating India in India. (They did in 2004)
