Timeline

1971

Matthew Lawrence Hayden (born 29 October 1971) is an Australian cricket commentator and former cricketer.

His career spanned fifteen years.

1993

Hayden and Michael Slater were both picked for the 1993 tour of England, but Slater performed better in the tour games, and secured the opening position alongside vice-captain Mark Taylor for the next few years.

1994

Hayden played a single test in the 4–8 March 1994 Test Match against South Africa in Johannesburg, scoring 15 and 5, filling in for an injured Taylor.

1995

Hayden competed in the Gladiator Team Sports Challenge in 1995, Hayden's boat capsized near North Stradbroke Island; he and his two companions (one of whom was Queensland and Australian teammate Andrew Symonds and the other was Trent Butler) were forced to swim a kilometre to safety.

Hayden subsequently appeared in a campaign promoting marine safety.

In his spare time, Hayden is a keen cook and occasionally prepared meals for his teammates while on tour.

1996

His next Test selection was in the 1996–97 season, with three tests each against the West Indies and South Africa.

He made his maiden century (125 against the West Indies in Adelaide), but averaged only 24.1 over the six tests, including four ducks.

1997

He also played in the English County Championship, first with Hampshire in 1997 and prominently as captain of Northamptonshire in 1999–2000; his County record is 3461 runs at 55.82.

Hayden's first-class career yielded 24,603 runs at an average of 52.57.

2000

Hayden was a powerful and aggressive left-handed opening batsman who, along with opening partners Justin Langer and Adam Gilchrist, contributed heavily to Australia's success during its "golden era" (2000-2008) in Test and ODI (One Day International) cricket respectively.

Hayden was awarded the Australian Sports Medal on 14 July 2000.

2003

He holds the record of highest individual score by an Australian batsman in Test s, having scored 380 against Zimbabwe during Zimbabwe's 2003 tour of Australia.

This stands as the second-highest individual score in test cricket (behind Brian Lara‘s 400*).

It is the highest score by an opening batsman in Tests, though infamously he never faced the opening ball in Tests with Langer, always batting at No2.

Hayden was a member of the Australian team that won both the 2003 Cricket World Cup, and the 2007 Cricket World Cup.

Domestically, Hayden played for the state he was born in, Queensland, and also played for the state's Twenty20 (T20) competition team, the Brisbane Heat.

2004

A collection of his recipes was published in Australia in 2004 as The Matthew Hayden Cookbook.

2006

A second book, The Matthew Hayden Cookbook 2, was published in 2006.

Prior to using a Mongoose, Hayden used a Gray-Nicolls bat with a fluorescent pink grip, to highlight and support research into a cure for breast cancer.

This is at least in part inspired by his teammate Glenn McGrath's wife, who died due to breast cancer.

He is married to Kellie and has three children

Hayden is a devout Roman Catholic and said, "When I’m in trouble, I ask: ‘What would Christ do? '" He also routinely crossed himself on the field after reaching a century.

When asked about faith in modern society, Hayden said, “''I think it’s very challenging to live as a Christian, or any sort of religion, in terms of modern day society.

I think it’s very difficult as a young adult, and I think I really struggled with that over a long period of time”''.

2008

Matthew Hayden played for the Chennai Super Kings in the inaugural Indian Premier League (IPL) in April 2008, contracted for $375,000.

2010

Hayden is an Ambassador for the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation.

Hayden played Sheffield Shield cricket for Queensland, playing 101 matches, and scoring 8831 runs at an average of 54.85.

On 11 March 2010, Hayden announced his intention to use the Mongoose Cricket Bat, a bat specially tailored to the needs of Twenty20 cricket, during the 2010 IPL.

Reactions to the bat were mixed.

Stuart Law said that he would think 'twice' before using the Mongoose, while MS Dhoni said in his column that he believed in Hayden's ability 'no matter what means he uses'.

After a quiet start to the third edition of the IPL, Hayden scored 93 off 43 deliveries to kickstart his campaign.
