Matthew Lawrence Hayden is an Australian cricket commentator and former cricketer. His career spanned fifteen years.

This stands as the second-highest individual score in test cricket. It is the highest score by an opening batsman in Tests, though infamously he never faced the opening ball in Tests with Langer, always batting at No2.
