India vs. Australia

Hayden: India a Third World country

Matthew Hayden called India a third-world country, blaming Australia’s slow over-rate on the movement around sightscreens.

Hayden, who had a pretty average tour of India, where Australia were mauled by India in the Test series said the host batsmen were reluctant to face up qucikly enough.

"They (opposition batsmen) are very difficult to get to face up," Hayden was quoted as saying by 'The Australian'.

Hayden said sightscreen adjustments also played a part in delaying the proceedings as someone or the other kept moving around it.

"Often we find ourselves with hands on hips waiting for someone to either face up or someone in the sightboard to move away; all the little frustrations that happen in Third World countries and the heat as well," he added.


All i would like to say is, "Learn to take the blame on yourself sometimes Mr. Matthew"
