Message: [QUOTE="Mister Wright, post: 2783976, member: 2160"] Agree. There was an opportunity to go With Maher around that 2000/2001 period when he was in great form, but Langer & Hayden got the inside running and ended up being close to our best ever opening partnership of all time. Unfortunately for Maher & Law they were performing at time when it was harder to get out of the team than it was into it. Love managed to make his way in due to some injuries in the middle order, but eventually was disgarded as he was't considered a 'team' player after blowing up on a tour of the West Indies when Ponting was injured and they decided to play Bichel @ 7 and move everyone else one spot up the order. I think he played one more test against Bangladesh where he made a 100* but wasn't seriously considered after that. Let's just reflect on how awesome our batting order was back in the 2000s (which if they were all playing for NSW could have been the Australian top 5): Hayden Maher Love Law Symonds Perren [/QUOTE]
