I missed it when it happened, but it seems Simon
Katich scored a rather, um, un-Katichesque triple-century
a few days ago, playing for NSW against Queensland. On this Halloween, I
couldn't think of a better treat – not candy, not chocolate, not even a girl dressed like a
slutty cat at a drunken party – than for the Australian selectors to see that innings,
and based on it decide to bring the Kat back into the squad. Simon Katich is exactly what we need at the
moment. Someone to clog the engine of this brutal Australian machine and slow
their progress for a little while. I await his upcoming clumpy 60s and
stop-start 40s – as everyone else around him goes a run-a-ball – with delirious
anticipation.
