With only 1 wicket down on a decent track, scoring at just over 5 isn't exactly ideal.
Why? It's a slow wicket, and Australia have only had 15 overs with the field up. The scoring rate is more than acceptable with wickets in hand, as is Hayden's strike rate.

The problem is more than he should have been out twice at the start of his innings.

Fleming's captaincy has been fairly poor today, though he hasn't exactly been backed up by his bowlers or fielders either.

Yeah its been a long while since punter has scored a ton in an odi. Not only by his standard but for a batsman batting at no.3 his last century came last year in VB series 2nd final against sri lanka, so he is more than due.

Where are all you Aussie's calling for Hayden's head now?
I'm still here... and i'm still calling for his head. One Scratchy 50 where he's given 2 chances doesn't make a scrap of difference afaic. He should've never been recalled in the first place... Would've rather seen Vettori take that catch

Right here. He never should have been recalled in the first place, and that'd still be true if he'd played brilliantly today. As it is, he hasn't really, and should have been out early on. If he goes on to make a big score that's fine, but he shouldn't be in the team and I rather Vettori had taken that catch.

I think with so many wickets left aussies should go ballastic. Send hussey or white at no.4 and up the scoring rate.
