Hayden went at right time, says Waugh

Former Australian captain Steve Waugh says he is pleased Matthew Hayden left cricket on his own terms.

The 37-year-old announced his retirement yesterday after 103 Tests in which he scored 8,625 runs at 50.73.

Waugh says he is confident Hayden would have performed well if he had kept playing, but he knew it was time to move on.

"It's always difficult towards the end, there's a lot of speculation about your position in the side," he said.

"[He had] one of those runs where he's had a couple of tough decisions, a couple of run-outs and things haven't gone his way.
