Hayden calls Harbhajan obnoxious



The Australian fiery batsman Mathew Hayden has called Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh ‘a little obnoxious weed’.
The gloves are once again off between Indian and Australian cricketers. Both the teams that have locked horns like never before during India’s latest visit to Australia are increasingly attacking the other side on and off the field.
India that today qualified for the tri-series final by easily defeating Sri Lanka meets Australia in the best of three final. Though India has played good cricket during the series but there has been inconsistency in its performance especially its inexperienced batting line up.
While talking on Brisbane radio Monday said “It's been a bit of a long battle with Harbhajan, the first time I ever met him he was the same little obnoxious weed that he is now," Hayden said on Brisbane radio yesterday.”
He added that Harbhajan’s record on the field speaks volumes for itself in cricket.
"There is a certain line that you can kind of go to and then you know where you push it and he just pushes it all the time. That's why he has been charged more than anyone that's ever played in the history of cricket” Hayden went on to add.
India and Australia meet in the best of three one-day final series that is set to begin on Sunday following two months long visit by Indian side.
Harbhajan and Hayden recently exchanged duel during last Sunday's match at the SCG.
