Now Tony Grieg is going on about how the batsman runs infront of the ball to try avoid a run out, what a crock of ****. Like any batsman in the world is gonna spend that extra few seconds getting out of the way of the stumps so a team has a chance to run them out, lol.. What a ****a..
If behaviour like this happened at the G, people'd be saying how we're so undisciplened, cricket should be banned until it improves etc. But this isn't Melbourne, so we won't hear a peep.
They need to speed up quickly. Don't let em have maiden overs!
Century for Katich, off 136 balls though - he's played well to get the century but for that kind of run chase you need to play quickly. Centuries for the openers though must be good for their confidence.
Oh well Katich will be opener for the SA series now. Lets see how well he goes in SA now that he has scored a 100. Heres hoping he will pick up his strike rate.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I heard that the squad to tour SA was already finalised but not announced, meaning that they could actually have dropped Katich irrespective of his performance tonight. Would be very harsh if that really was correct, he does deserve another go and as a result of being very poorly treated in the past has changed his approach to batting which is probably why he's a slightly different player than that of the past.
Possible squad: Ricky Ponting (capt), Adam Gilchrist, Phil Jaques, Simon Katich, Damien Martyn, Andrew Symonds, Michael Clarke, Mike Hussey, Brett Lee, Nathan Bracken, Stuart Clark, Mick Lewis, Brad Hogg, James Hopes.
