'''Mornantau '''"'''Nantie'''"''' Hayward''' (born 6 March 1977) is a South African former [[cricket]]er, who played in 16 [[Test cricket|Test matches]] and 21 [[One Day International]]s for the [[South African national cricket team|national team]] between 1998 and 2004.

He played as a right-arm fast bowler, who, according to Peter Robinson, had "genuine pace, the ability to get bounce and abundant energy".<ref name="Robinson">{{cite web | url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/player/45419.html| title=Nantie Hayward | access-date=2007-01-03 | last=Robinson | first=Peter | date=June 2004 | publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> The fastest recorded delivery by a South African pacer is ascribed to him, 154 km/h (around 95 mph), that he delivered twice, both in 2001, against India and Australia.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Bowling speeds |url=https://i.imgci.com/link_to_database/STATS/FC/BOWLING/BOWLING_SPEEDS.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20251001205407/https://i.imgci.com/link_to_database/STATS/FC/BOWLING/BOWLING_SPEEDS.html |archive-date=1 October 2025 |access-date=1 October 2025 |website=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>

He played for [[Derbyshire County Cricket Club|Derbyshire]] until his retirement from all cricket in 2012.

==International career==
At the time of Robinson's article, "Hayward [was] clearly seen as the successor to [[Allan Donald]] as the spearhead of the South African attack."<ref name="Robinson"/> However Hayward did not play a Test match after August 2004 or a One Day International after April 2002. [[Stephen Waugh|Steve Waugh]] appears to have reached this conclusion in his autobiography, saying that: "I'm amazed he didn't...become world-class...a collective cheer went up in the Australian camp whenever his unpredictable raw pace was overlooked [by the South African selectors]."<ref name="Waugh">{{cite book | last=Waugh | first=Steve | authorlink=Steve Waugh | title=STEVE WAUGH: Out of my comfort zone - the autobiography | year=2005 | publisher=Penguin Group (Australia) | location=Victoria | isbn=0-670-04198-X | page=626}}</ref>

==Ireland career==
He played for [[Ireland cricket team|Ireland]] in the 2007 [[Friends Provident Trophy]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/6609255.stm| title=Paceman Hayward signs for Ireland| access-date=2007-05-01 | last= | first= | date=May 2007 | publisher=[[BBC]]}}</ref>
