Wessels tells Hayden to cool it
Former Australia and South Africa left-hander Kepler Wessels has criticised current Aussie opener Matthew Hayden for his aggressive approach to batting.
Hayden has failed to fire in the Ashes series, making just 147 runs from six innings to date.
Wessels told BBC Sport: "Matthew Hayden has changed his game to be almost too aggressive, which is something he doesn't have to do.
"He can afford to take a lot more time and get himself in, and he doesn't have to impose himself on the attack all the time, he scores quickly enough anyway.
"He's playing a whole range of strokes that keep getting him into trouble."
Of Australia's chances of sealing a series win, Northamptonshire coach Wessels added: "I don't think they've been as good as they have been.
"They've still got a lot of ability and can probably still win the series, but it's in their interests to win at Trent Bridge as England do well at The Oval."
