Australia vs England When the second test had not even started, Australian legend Matthew Hayden had made a strange claim. Hayden said that if Joe Root is unable to score a century in this series, then he will take off all his clothes and roam naked in the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The good thing is that Root has scored a century at the Gabba ground itself. The reaction of Matthew Hayden’s daughter has also come to light on this.

Matthew Hayden’s daughter, Grace, also does cricket commentary. He has updated a story on Instagram, in which he shared his picture. He also wrote in the caption, “Root, thank you very much. Our eyes were saved because of you.” He made this comment regarding his father roaming around naked.

By the end of the first day’s play in the second Ashes Test, Joe Root had scored 135 runs. This was his first century on Australian soil. After the end of the first day’s play, Matthew Hayden congratulated Joe Root for scoring the first century on Australian soil.
