"Often we find ourselves waiting with hands on hips for someone to face up or someone on the sight board to move away or some of those little frustrations happening with third world countries," Hayden was quoted as saying by Australian newspaper The Daily Telegraph.

When Hayden was 'hired' by a company from India for playing in Indian Premier League, he played without complaints. He was hired by India Cements for $375000 and played the last season for Chennai Super Kings under Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Capataincy.

FITTING REPLY FROM A LEGEND.

"The thing about the Aussies is that they are sore losers. They get personal when they get beaten. It is all a matter of sour grapes and after going home, they've started calling India a third-world country", said Akram.

"India is a superpower now; it is a hundred years ahead of Australia, which is no more than a village, as compared to India. You don't blame sightscreens for poor over rates. Even Allan Border was critical of Australian tactics on the pitch," Akram said.

HAYDEN GOT WHAT HE DESERVED.

Tallest Verified Human Being

Robert Pershing Wadlow (February 22, 1918 – July 15, 1940).

He reached 8' 11.1" (272 cm) in height and 490 pounds (222.26 kg) in weight before his death at the age of 22. His height was due to an overactive pituitary gland. He showed no indication of an end to his growth even at the time of his death.

In 1985, a life-size bronze statue of Wadlow by Ned Giberson was erected at the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville School of Dental Medicine.
