Hayden seeks to maintain purity
SYDNEY, March 27: Outspoken Australian opener Matthew Hayden has vowed to uphold what he calls the purity of Australia’s baggy green cap in honour of the late cricket icon Bill Brown.
Hayden made the comments as a guest speaker at a celebration here on Thursday of the life of former Australian opener Brown, a member of Don Bradman’s 1948 Invincibles, who died last week at the ripe age of 95.
“It (cricket today) has I think tended to lose its purity that this (Brown’s) great era of cricket has produced,” he told the gathering.
“I would have to put my hand up as well in delivering that and keeping those traditions in the game.”—AFP
