The players should not think they are untouchables (this word has
multiple meanings, right?). Just before his 100th Test, Jayasuriya
said, 'the fear of being dropped' brought the best out of him.

I expect Hayden was retained for his batting, but I'm not so sure about this
Matin character. I suspect he owes his inclusion ot being the only player

I think it will certainly go into day 6. Even the odi series will be
close, decided by the final game.
