Hayden's 'surge' and 'counter' strategy.

Hayden has revealed that he will take an off-stump guard to counter our swing bowlers. Additionally he has indicated that he will be standing well outside the crease to negate the swing and look to walk down the pitch.

 

Now that Hayden has revealed 'all' here are some suggestions to counter his 'surge'.

 

An immediate strategy that comes to the mind is to bowl short –pitched deliveries. Another is to bowl Harbhajan first – up with the new- ball and disarm him with a doosra.

 

However, the best way to counter his 'surge' would be to bowl an in swinger that will sting his um…-nether regions.

 

Any suggestions?
