Alex Brown, writing in the Sydney Morning Herald, believes Matthew Hayden’s position in the Test side is close to untenable.
Australia's selectors must by now have devised a contingency plan for the opener's position in the increasingly likely event Hayden draws the curtain on his career after the Sydney Test. His dismissal for 8 was the fourth time in six innings he has been caught between wicketkeeper and point this summer, and took his tally to a grim 56 runs at 9.33 from six innings.
In the Australian Peter Lalor says Hayden may be playing his last Test for Australia.
Only sympathy for symphonies past or a minor miracle in the second innings will send him to Sydney.
