First the Indian players now Matthew Hayden continues the mocking of Australian Test cricketers

Australian cricket great Matthew Hayden has been captured taunting Pat Cummins’ side after his capitulation in the crease on the third day of the second test in Delhi, which handed India the Border-Gavaskar trophy.

Hayden, 51, was seen clutching a broom on the pitch while filming a post-match segment for Star Sports.

He followed Australia by losing nine wickets in just 91 minutes of play, with six of the 10 dismissals coming from the sweeping shot.

Australia were bowled for just 118, with the hosts winning by six wickets.

If any former Australian cricketer can comment on sweeping the subcontinent, it’s the beefy Queenslander.

Australian cricket great Matthew Hayden has been caught taunting Pat Cummins’s side after his capitulation at the crease on day three of the second Test in Delhi.

Hayden, 51, was seen clutching a broom while wearing a pink hat (pictured) while filming a post-match segment for Star Sports.

On the 2001 tour of India, Hayden hit 549 runs at an average of 109.80, highlighting a commanding stroke of 203 at Chennai in the third Test of the series.

The man they call ‘Haydos’ was flabbergasted by the poor shot selections in Delhi, calling the batting card a ‘disaster’.

“What we have seen here is a disaster for Australia,” he told Star Sports viewers.

“They have gone way over the limit in terms of their aggressive play.

‘What professional in life only waits? ‘You have to have a method and you have to think on your feet.’

Speaking on Sky Sports radio on Monday, former test captain Michael Clarke asked for Hayden to be introduced to the Australian camp as a training consultant.

‘You have Matthew Hayden in India right now commentating and Mark Waugh as well. They are on the ground.

‘So it would be a no-brainer to go to someone like Matthew Hayden, who is a great sweeper. He is probably the only Australian batsman to have been successful in India.

“I think if you stay in your bubble in situations like this, that’s where it gets harder because you keep making the same mistakes and the fans get crazier.”

‘Do a few things to try to improve yourself.’

Australia heads into the third Test in Indore, which begins on March 1, in a state of turmoil.

Captain Pat Cummins has already flown home for personal reasons, and fast bowler Josh Hazlewood will sit out after failing to recover from an Achilles tendon injury.

Veteran David Warner could also fly home, with scans revealing a small fracture in his arm to add to his concussion dramas.

The 36-year-old’s position in the XI was already under a cloud, with reports that selectors were considering playing Travis Head at the top of the order.

Warner entered last year’s Boxing Day test against South Africa, his 100th match, under extreme pressure to retain his place.

He silenced his critics, looting 200 on the MCG to end a Test century drought dating back to January 2020.

Warner’s test record in India is abysmal, averaging just 21.78.

He has previously said that he wants to continue playing Tests until at least the end of this year’s Ashes in England.

Warner has an average of 45.47 and has scored 25 centuries from 103 Tests.
