Yeah, Katich did look very comfortable, and it puzzles me why he can't play that type of low risk aggressive style that would have him cemented in the side and less people bagging him. Unfortunate to be run out, but he'll get at least one more chance to make a score, might not want to open with Hayden though...
Just at a guess, maybe it's because the team need him to play an anchor role, and actually tell him to do so. In this case, I'm assuming he was meant to play more of an attacking position, as Hayden hasn't played one day cricket for a while.

Last powerplay taken, should decided the match. WI in cruise control but one wicket and we could have a repeat of what happened a few nights back.

Yeah, had thought of that, but even if he is playing the anchor role it doesn't mean he can't put the bad balls away like he was today. He looked really good today and didn't really look like getting out. I think he had one terrible play-and-miss, may have even edged one that didn't go close, but apart from that he looked solid, but also looked like he was out there to make runs. Something I haven't seen from him in the Aussie colours.

Lara and Gayle needed drinks. Clark is a genius, he's trying to tire them out!

Seriously though, this may be the end of Clark.

So they're telling him to have a (comparitively) poor strike rate, and get out before going on with it, in most innings? Even if they are - does it make his performances beyond question?
