Matthew Lawrence Hayden AM, a former Australian cricketer & cricket commentator, will be 51 years old on October 29, 2022.
Matthew Lawrence Hayden AM (born 29 October 1971) is a former Australian cricketer and cricket pundit. His professional career lasted fifteen years. Hayden was a strong and aggressive left-handed opening batsman who, together with opening partners Justin Langer and Adam Gilchrist, contributed significantly to Australia's success in Test and ODI cricket during its "golden period" (2004-2011). He is largely regarded as one of the finest Test openers and holds the record for the highest individual score by an Australian batsman, with 380 against Zimbabwe during Zimbabwe's 2003 tour of Australia. This is the second-greatest individual score in test cricket, after only Brian Lara's 400*, and the best score by an opening batsman.
