A Matthew Hayden quote shorn of context to make it sound weird

< 1 minute read

We’re not in the habit of being even-handed when it comes to Hayden. Why should we extend the courtesy of context to him when he never once apologises for being Matthew Hayden.

“At the end of the day, two alpha dogs are never going to sit in a cage and not look at each other. It is what it is. The way I see my cricket, if you’re the other alpha dog, you better not blink. I feel I’d be letting down my country if I was to blink.”

Bet you’ve blinked at some point, Matthew. You know what that makes you? It makes you a traitor.
