🇦🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #AUSvENG #Ashes2025 : 2nd Test

 Day 2 : 

#MarnusLabuschagne, #SteveSmith & #JakeWeatherald notch up fifties to hand Australia the advantage at the end of Day 2! 🇦🇺

On Day 1 : 

🚨 HE’S DONE IT! 🚨 No doubt before. No doubt now.

A true great of the game.

Joe Root has finally got his first #Ashes century in Australia! 

And 

Saved lot embarrassment to Haydens 😜😅

England finally reach 300 in Australia for the first time since the Sydney Test of the 17-18 Ashes series! 😎

Matthew Hayden had said he would "walk nude around the MCG" if Joe Root didn’t make an Ashes century this year, but after the first Test, he’s feeling the pressure 😬

So ultimately daughter thanked Joe Root 😊

It's been a long time coming, and now the old enemy Down Under must accept Joe Root's place in cricketing history, writes Stephan Shemilt 🖊️

And..

Joe Root has made the Fab Four Test centuries crown his own 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌟

His turnaround since the start of this decade keeps getting more ridiculous 🤯

So...

The most relieved man in Australia 😅

Who is the most relieved man in Australia?

The most relieved man in Australia is likely Matthew Hayden, a former Australian cricketer, thanks to Joe Root's maiden Test century in Australia during the 2025-26 Ashes series. Hayden had jokingly said he would walk nude around the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) if Root didn't score a century this summer. With Root achieving this feat, Hayden is off the hook. 

And ..

Captain Ben Stokes was delighted to see Joe Root break his Test century drought in Australia. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏽🔥

Matthew Hayden’s response after Joe Root brought up his century.😅

 

What is Matthew Hayden’s quote about?

Matthew Hayden's quote is about congratulating Joe Root on scoring his maiden Test century in Australia, while also referencing his own public wager. Hayden had said that if Root failed to score a century in Australia, he would "walk nude around the MCG" (Melbourne Cricket Ground). After Root reached the milestone, Hayden jokingly said, "Congratulations, mate, on a hundred in Australia. Took you a while, and there was no one that had more skin in the game than me, literally." This lighthearted comment pokes fun at his earlier wager, and Hayden's daughter, Grace, even thanked Root for saving "all our eyes" after the century .

It's worth noting that Hayden's initial statement was made in a humorous vein, and he had expressed confidence that Root would break his century drought in Australia. When Root finally achieved the milestone, Hayden congratulated him, saying Root should enjoy the achievement, as it was well-deserved .
