The biggest reason for not feeding Head was that he is a left-handed batsman. “I can’t believe it (Head being dropped), ‘for me he was the best player of the summer’ season,” Hayden was quoted as saying on Fox Cricket after the playing XI was announced for the match.
Matthew Hayden further mentioned that, ‘I know there were completely different conditions at the Gabba in Brisbane but his 90 (against South Africa) in Brisbane was brilliant. He scored runs on a difficult pitch as if it was a flat wicket. It was a green pitch full of grass.
Apart from this, the former captain of the Australian cricket team and veteran all-rounder Steve Waugh has also put his opinion in front of everyone regarding this issue. He could not digest how Travis Head could not be a part of the team. Along with this, Waugh has also taunted the Australian selectors. He wrote on the most popular social media platform Instagram that,
‘Hard to believe we could get the number four Test batsman out in the world and probably our best batsman in the last 12 months and also he bowls better than average off spin. Let’s wait and see. Perhaps Australia’s selectors are geniuses.
