I have always been fascinated by the polarising cricketers, those who spark polemics among the cognoscenti. I am thinking of Adam Voges, Dean Jones, Bill Ponsford and Matthew Hayden.
To me, the burly Queenslander is overrated and I am amazed how often his name appears in an Australian all-time XI. This is not to say that Hayden was not a very good player, he certainly was. Among his achievements, most compelling was his performances on the subcontinent, where he demonstrated a superb technique for dealing with the Indian spinners.
Voice scores two as Goring continue perfect start to league season ); as they
continued their winning start to the season in Division 3 of the Reading and District Sunday League.
The first half was all Goring and they finally got their noses in front just before half time.
A miss hit shot, landed at George Scoffham’s feet who crossed for Harry Voice to finish.
The second half continued in the same vein and Dan Wallace converted from close range to double their advantage. Matty Hayden added the third with a well-placed finish and Harry Voice grabbed his second of the game, followed by a Tom Brownlow penalty, which was blasted into the net, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance.
