During the rain in Antigua Sky showed the batting highlights from Australia’s matches against South Africa and the West Indies. This double-dose of centuries from Hayden as he clubbed the attacks of the next strongest teams in the competition was an awesome sight.The one-handed six off Samuels when he found his feet in the wrong position must have been a first in any form of cricket. Even when you take modern bats and boundaries out of the equation, his hitting has been pretty spectacular.Not so long ago there was talk of the end of his international career when Hoggard was getting him early in the tests – there was a sense that he’d been worked out. The thing is, have he and Australia peaked too early in this competition?
