Simple Symonds, now Humble Hayden
Matthew Hayden is suffering from the worst thing that can happen to a batsman - bad timing. He forgot that there won't be another IPL auction in a hurry, so there is no way his tag is going to go up any further. He should have fought Harbhajan Singh before the auction.
