In his last 26 innings, over the past 12 months, Hayden has averaged 30. He's scored five half-centuries but no centuries. Interestingly, he's made 20 runs or more in 18 of the 26 innings which indicates he's getting a start but just doesn't go on with it.
Some have suggested he isn't watching the ball. Others suggest he doesn't exhibit the same body language anymore. Others say he's finished.
I tend to think he's only an innings or two from a big one. It's been a lean 12 months, make no mistake. But he's still there making some (some) dodgy but worthwhile runs overall, which indicates he's not completely incompetant. I wonder how the selectors will handle it... he's been incredible since 2001, but has seriously struggled in the last year.
I think he has till the end of the series at least.
