Test Match Special
Matthew Hayden’s damning thoughts on Australia World Cup exit

Matt Renshaw, when I saw that he was in the squad, I thought, this is an intriguing selection.

Test Match Special
Matthew Hayden’s damning thoughts on Australia World Cup exit

I'd seen him doing well in the Big Bash, you know, he's in decent form, but he's not necessarily someone that you think of as going to be like a key batter for them.

Test Match Special

But actually, he's top scored.

Test Match Special
Matthew Hayden’s damning thoughts on Australia World Cup exit

Previous game, he got 60-odd.

Test Match Special
Matthew Hayden’s damning thoughts on Australia World Cup exit

In the conditions yesterday, he could have been absolutely crucial because having got 104 in 8.3 overs and then to lose 10 wickets for 77.

And you've got Cam Green, who just doesn't look in great nick with the bat.

But Tim David... He doesn't look in any nick with the bat.

Well, you've drawn a very worthy parallel with England and the Ashes, and I think, for example, Shoaib Bashir, who is groomed to be the spinner, ended up not playing.

Will Jacks is then ending up as a part-time off-spinner, batting at eight.

Test Match Special
Matthew Hayden’s damning thoughts on Australia World Cup exit

At best, part-time spinner.

Test Match Special
Matthew Hayden’s damning thoughts on Australia World Cup exit

Oh, at absolute best.

And then we've got a similar thing here, where Josh Hazlewood is unavailable.

Test Match Special
Matthew Hayden’s damning thoughts on Australia World Cup exit

He goes out of the team, and they go...

Test Match Special
Matthew Hayden’s damning thoughts on Australia World Cup exit

Right, we're going to replace him with Steve Smith.

Test Match Special
Matthew Hayden’s damning thoughts on Australia World Cup exit

They can't think of a less like for like.

Test Match Special
Matthew Hayden’s damning thoughts on Australia World Cup exit

I'm not saying Steve Smith shouldn't have been selected, but it hints at a confusion at the heart of what's going on.

Test Match Special
Matthew Hayden’s damning thoughts on Australia World Cup exit

So the question I want to ask here is because you'll know more about this than we do in England.

Test Match Special
Matthew Hayden’s damning thoughts on Australia World Cup exit

Is this just one of those things that happens to a team where it's a transition?

Test Match Special
Matthew Hayden’s damning thoughts on Australia World Cup exit

So some guys aren't there.

Test Match Special
Matthew Hayden’s damning thoughts on Australia World Cup exit

There's no Cummins, there's no Hazlewood, nuts through injury.
