Simon Katich gives Michael Clarke what he deserves

Yeah mate team songs are great for team unity and everything, but if the vc of your team after 5 hours of celebrations is saying "okay guys lets get it done with as i have to be somewhere", and for a matter like that i don't see any reason why Katich would have had to get physical with him.


Katich needs to control his anger imo, even in India he reacted in a very OTT way when he had an run-in with Gambhir, but there is no excuse for this, i don't know how its very different from Akthar-Asif or Harby-Sree Santh episode, the only difference is that maybe Katich might have been drunk.

Surprised you haven't suggested he go to anger management classes.

Actually, moving on from Precam's trolling efforts, I have to say that in all seriousness, Katich hopefully has got his arse kicked, and has hopefully had a very good look at himself, including how he handles his booze/anger, following this incident. I'm assuming here that the version that was presented in the media is accurate, which is a big assumption. But if it is true, how the **** is trying to choke anyone, let alone a teammate, an acceptable way to behave.

The whole boozy culture of the team is a bit dire if truth be told. Why is it necessary to get absolutely smashed to celebrate a win? It's not like Clarke had refused to stick around for a drink or anything. It's his home test match, its presumably a rare chance for him to catch up with friends before they're back on the treadmill, and he's stuck around for five hours. Truth be told, it doesn't matter if he was sitting there saying "you guys are all c****, and your song sucks ****", attacking him physically is ridiculous.

Well not long back a certain guy tried to find his home, to be all at sea, quite literally, during a seemingly important team get-together.

Tbh, Katich is the last person i would have expected to behave like this, he and Clarke have been long time friends since their time at NSW, so if this is how Katich behaves under the influence of booze with one of close mates, then its really a shame.

Credit to Clarke though, i think he has handled this in a very a mature way, because as you say choking someone is not acceptable and its pretty serious, and had made a big fuss out of it, then Katich's career could have been in jeopardy.

That's a good point; if it was a series win then fair enough but really, it's the sort of thing that people (rightly) have a go at the English for
