Hayden doesn't buy the idea

AFP, Perth
Opening batsman Matthew Hayden dismissed suggestions Wednesday that the Australian Test team needed a full-time batting coach despite the team's poor showing against England in the Ashes series.
Hayden, speaking ahead of Australia's opening Test match against South Africa in Perth, was at odds with former teammate Michael Slater.
Slater said earlier he wanted the Australian team to have specialist batting and bowling coaches to work with head coach John Buchanan and his assistants, Dene Hills and Jamie Siddons.
"If I am a batsman struggling in this Australian unit, if I go to John Buchanan, how is he going to help me with my batting given that he has never been a batsman?" Slater asked.
"I would have a batting coach as well. I think it's just as important to have the batting unit be able to go to someone in confidence and work on their game.
"Siddons and Hills are there for general duties, not specialists. They may have been batters when they SEE PAGE 13 COL 1 FROM PAGE 12
played but their role isn't just to look after batsmen."
But Hayden said Australia's batsmen had formed a close group, especially since their Ashes series defeat.
"Provided you can encourage players within the group to talk about each other's games, ultimately it comes down to a partnership in the middle," he said.
Hayden said the team also had enormous respect for Siddons and Hills.
"He (Siddons) is the kind of guy who is not going to tell you all the time what you want to hear," said Hayden.
"That's great because some-
times you do need a bit of a lift.
"I feel very comfortable that within our side, we've got a good base with our batting."
Cricket Australia this week appointed Troy Cooley as full-time fast bowling coach to start from May next year.
Cooley, a former Tasmanian bowler, was England's bowling coach in its Ashes series triumph earlier this year.
