Just saw cricinfo,

So he gets the average 30 in 8 matches. And 1 hundred at Jan,1997. Interesting stats for a great player right?

: ( I don't want to bring Tendulkar here.. but I am not able to resist myself.. If you are interested in knowing an extra info, Sachin has played same 8 test matches from 94-01 against West Indies with scoring around 700 runs with 63 batting average

Anyways, just an extra info of Sachin during the same Walsh/Ambrose period)
After Walsh/Ambrose Windies became worse than Bangladesh & Zimbabwe with either Lara or Chanderpaul or Hooper struggling to bring the team to top & with non effective/inconsistent bowlers.
Here is Hayden's stats,
Start of match date: less than or equal to 3 Jan 2001
Code:

He has had a horrible starts to his career though he played 13 tests since his debut, 1994.
And below is the peak period I was talking about,
Code:
2001-02 - [COLOR="DarkGreen"][B]71.85 [/B][/COLOR]

Obviously to people who have started to see cricket in late 2000, Hayden will look more than Bradman. Hayden attained his prime/peak form after that 2000-01 series Vs India. I never denied the fact of his peak form over 6 years.
But to Ben's point of saying that I was wrong in " Hayden struggled against WestIndies during Walsh/Ambrose period " is invalid.
In other end, Steve Waugh has outsmarted his own team mate in getting around 2000 runs against West Indies with average of around 50 during Walsh/Ambrose period(where West Indies indeed had their BEST bowlers).
