i personally thought he was a legend waaayyy before this innings but this milestone just makes it official i guess.

i've said it once and i'll say it again, world cricket is a farce when australia are competing. they should not be allowed to use cricket bats, instead they should be made to use this:



yeh thats right, they should have to bat with a carrot. and when australia are batting with their carrots, the bowling team must bowl with this:



but to make it fair, it can only be a 8 pound children's bumper ball. and remember this is ONLY applicable when australia are batting. you know its fair.

too true, we might not have to follow on every match

well maybe zimbabwe won't give us a run for our money but maybe the indian tour will be more competitive

so much sport but so little time to watch

hopefully we can do something in the union. although it was a ok win over Argentina, we are still going to struggle against the likes of New Zealand and England. My Tip, All Blacks.

I never thaught Brian Lara's previous highest every score in an innings would be surpassed.

But I guess it has a lot to do with the opposition/pitch and what form the batsman is in.

Na, Hayden ain't a legend yet. Take a look at Lara's record, now there's a true legend.

Ya gotta remember though, this was against Zimbabwe

Respect to the man. Yes it was against Zimbabwe, but it still required 10 hours of stamina, intense concentration and zero mistakes, which nobody else has ever managed to do in Test cricket.

Now bring on the RWC

If you dont consider Haydens a record cause it was scored against zimbabwe, then you cant count lara's either!! It was (from memory) scored against England!!! So Matt had a MUCH harder time!!!
