Test Match Special · Matthew Hayden’s damning thoughts on Australia World Cup exit · 18 Feb 2026 podcast

We get frustrated by the way he gets out in test matches.

But he's still playing test matches.

He's still captaining 50 over cricket.

He'll be known as one of the... It's a leading left-arm fast bowler in test cricket.

So how many franchises is that in total?

There might have been a slightly different thing at work there.

Because England have got themselves a bunch of players...

that are committed to test cricket.

You look at someone like Jamie Smith, and I've seen a lot of him in county cricket, and he's exactly the kind of guy who could have ended up certainly not being a test wicketkeeper.

He didn't wicketkeep in domestic cricket hardly at all.
