Ian Constantine300 reasons to pick Simon Katich!
October 28th 2007 06:16
What about me? Simon Katich, the NSW Blues captain has blazed an incredible 300 to give his team 1st innings points against the Queensland Bulls.
Joined by Brad Haddin (Future keeper of Australia) the pair put on a double century partnership for the fifth wicket.
Haddin, the understudy to Adam Gilchrist compiled a sensible and composed century of his own to put NSW on the front foot.
The 300 from Katich is a timely reminder to selectors ahead of the first Test match against Sri Lanka in under two weeks time. With batsmen falling by the wayside, Katich’s sublime triple-ton may have put him right in test calculations. With Rogers sick and Hodge disastrous foray opening for the Vics, Katich is a worthy candidate for national honors.
When the blues, chasing a mammoth total of 467 were reduced to 2-54 and then 3-100 things weren’t looking good. But Katich customarily sturdy innings reassured the Blues and then claimed the ascendancy.
Katich has been in and out of the national side for years, never able to cement his position despite unquestionable talent. If he did receive a shock call-up, who could begrudge him of that?
Whilst Jaques is odds on favourite, and rightly so... Simon Katich has done nothing wrong, and is once again... knocking on the door... But this time, instead of politely knocking with his hand... Katich has used a tree trunk to ram the door down... If a batsmen gets injured this summer, Katich should walk straight back into the side
