Matthew Hayden 'Gladiator'

Product Information

Signed limited edition Australian cricket memorabilia, celebrating Australia's premier Test opening batsman

Matthew Hayden's sporting life has become one of the all-time great revivals in cricket history.

From dominant first class player and occasional international, he has re-written his Test match and one day international history and carved out a record that is one of the most imposing in world cricket. He has taken the power-game to another level with demoralizing battering-ram assaults on opposing attacks in stadiums around the world.

The commanding way in which he has done that has fired the imaginations of sports lovers everywhere… stadiums become arenas with echoes of the Colliseum as he wields the bat like an axe hewing wood … or a sword - smiting great blows against his bowling foes. Punching drives, wrenching pulls and lacerating cuts and the body armour of a tight defence have become the weaponry of
Australia's own cricketing gladiator, Matt Hayden.

 

Gladiator celebrates Matthew Hayden's remarkable batting performances. Officially endorsed by the ACB and the ACA, each edition of Gladiator is individually hand-signed by Matt Hayden.

Spectacular innings, spectacular photographs

The photographic content epitomizes the gladiatorial spirit of Matt Hayden at the crease for
Australia.

The photographs are from his major dominant innings of the 2002/03 season. The feature image shows him blazing his way towards 197 against England at the 'Gabba.

The smaller Test match image pictures him after completing another century in the 2nd innings of the match. The images from the VB series show two punishing Innings - 62 runs from 68 balls against
Sri Lanka at left, and 98 from 92 against England.     

Along with the photographs, a written tribute describes his achievements.

Exacting quality, unquestionable authenticity

Each lithograph is reproduced using light-fast inks on heavy archival paper to ensure maximum longevity. Highlighting it are double matboards within a substantial timber frame, and enclosed in glass. Each is crafted in Legends Genuine Memorabilia's own studios under rigorous standards of quality control. Every piece is independently authenticated and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity and Limitation issued by PricewaterhouseCoopers. 

Individually hand-signed by Matthew Hayden
