Matthew Hayden who has looked solid as a rock all through the tour, played some powerful shots to take the initiative away from the Indians. He is really enjoying a good tour of India, carrying his good form from the Test series into the One-Dayers. Hayden who played a commanding knock, was dismissed one run short of his hundred, lbw to Shewag; a decision that raised a few eye-brows. Hayden's explosive innings was punctuated with seven strokes past the ropes and a big six, coming off just 89 balls. Hayden making a comeback into the ODI team wearing Andrew Symonds' shirt, has easily been the most consistent batsman on either side. His dismissal at 174 triggered a mini collapse from which the Aussies never recovered.
