I agree with Vinay, I don't think Aljay's views hold much water. Taylor has always been a bit of a cricket romantic, I don't particularly like him in the commentary box but you can tell that he knows his stuff, he knows history and he knew just how important that milestone was to Australian's. That he elected not to surpass it is for mine what cricket is all about, in what other sport would you expect such humbleness? He knew he was nothing on Sir Donald, everyone did and not breaking his record was a very honourable thing to do. For all of Hayden's 380 I can't help but feel it was arrogance that pushed him past this mark, he scored them against Zimbabwe on a flat track when he really shouldn't have - I really lost respect for him that day.

It doesn't matter if you're an expert engineer, that is only ONE aspect out of hundreds to be considered, this is a multi-billon dollar event that needs to be planned right down to the last detail which means they need a few more experts than an engineer. An expert in common sense probably won't help a great deal either unlesss you know a lot about infrastructure, transport, building hotels, upgrading roads and have the ability to plan it all, I think there was an opening over at Cricket Australia though for someone with your skills.
