Hayden sets new mark at Nairobi Gymkhana
NAIROBI: Matthew Hayden hit a century after Pakistan won the toss and sent Australia in to bat on the second day of the triangular one-day tournament here on Friday.
Hayden hit 146, the highest personal score on the Nairobi Gymkhana Cricket ground, surpassing Kenya's Kennedy Obuya's 144 runs against Bangladesh in 1997.
His haul came off just 127 balls and included 12 fours and six sixes. He helped Australia reach 332 runs in 50 overs after Pakistani captain Waqar Younis sent them to the crease.
Hayden has been a prolific run-maker for Australia in Test matches but said last week that he expected more from himself in the one-day arena.
The triangular tournament featuring Pakistan and Kenya, followed by the ICC Champions Trophy in Sri Lanka, are important stepping stones for Australia in their bid to retain the Ashes and the World Cup.
Pakistan easily beat Kenya in the series opener on Thursday.
