A great effort, but i dont think he was too pleased to beat the Don


Mark Taylor wasnt either :

Bill Brown (Australia's oldest surviving Test player) who knew the Don and played with him, said that Bradman would be pleased, and that he would have said that records are there to be broken.

Steve Waugh can predict the future.

Here is what he said in November 2002.

I would not trade Matthew Hayden for anybody else in world cricket. If anyone is going to break Brian Lara's world record Test score of 375, he is the man.

Spooky.

 

[James Driscoll]

Didn't see the innings, but I'm definately going to see the highlights. Great acheivement for him, but I wanted the record to be Lara's. He's still capable of getting it back though.

Congrats to Hayden for breaking a record
