The veteran duo smashed bowlers all-around the park

One of the most dangerous pairs in the history of world cricket, Matthew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist, clobbered the bowlers all around the park and showed no mercy. The duo took the attack on the bowlers from the word go and killed the opposition's confidence very early in the game.

They played a very crucial role in the 2003 and 2007 cricket World Cups and helped Australia win it all. The conditions never mattered to them and they kept on putting daggers in the hearts of opposition's fans with their lovely shots.

The veteran duo accumulated 4827 runs at an average of 43.49, after opening the innings together in 114 innings.
