Old-school opener against technology

26 Dec, 2008 12:00 AM
AUSTRALIAN opener Matthew Hayden doesn't support the use of technology in Test matches, even though it might have saved him from a poor decision in the first Test in Perth.

Hayden, who is fighting to keep his career alive with an average of just 23.5 in seven Tests, fell victim to a shocking call last week at the WACA. Hayden said on Wednesday he likes the human element of cricket umpiring - some mistakes are made, but we all make mistakes.

"I struggle with technology in the game. Maybe that's because I'm more old-school," the 37-year-old batsman said.
