How about sending Katich back home to WA? We’d loe to have him back — the man is an absolute run machine for NSW.

Thanks for sending Katich to us! But no thanks.

I am not a Katich fan so please do not draw me into that statement.

With regard to the 194 at the MCG, I think i made my point to precise.

His batting prowess can be seen anywhere. I feel that focusing on his successes only and not viewing them alongside his abject failures allows the argument to steer to the cold hard fact that he keeps getting out of the side.

As for Katich, you can have him.

Chris,
S Katich is one batsman who makes nothing seem to look silly, Its all sense, But them watching him play is like watching something grow

@Alvin

Don’t know about you, but I’d personally prefer Sehwag looking silly at 194, six short of a 200 any day, to Ponting looking silly (on any score you chose) having to face Ishant Sharma reversing it on a cricket pitch these days!

Sorry to jump in, but please quit harping of the missing 6 runs… the 194 he got was also using the same instincts of his.

So you, and people like you produce Dravids, and I think one is enough for India.

And neither in the pre-2003 world cup NZ series… where we witnessed one of the deadliest seaming conditions that tamed every other Indian batsman …except Viru

And he is not batting differently now? what are you smoking Chris?

Whatever it is, i guess you better stop smoking it while u make statements like these.

@mohan

194 in a day doesnt look silly, but gifting Simon Katich a wicket as you slog and throw away a certain 200 ….

@chris

And neither does he look silly in scoring 194 in one day at the MCG!
