The Simon Katich Appreciation Society - Kat Is King

[NZTailender]

I think it's about time this underrated hard working generally all round great bloke got his own thread.

From bashing down the door, to chicken pox, to being unfairly dropped, to saving Waugh's final series, struggling in England, his dropping from the Test side, battling his way through ODIs until finally being discarded, to breaking Australian domestic records and finally being recalled and cementing his place in the new role of opener.

To some, not the prettiest to watch at the crease, but I certainly like watching him bat. Like it was said recently, ugly can be beautiful.

Simon Mathew Katich, I salute you.

Awesome thread, and enjoy that 14k Gegy.

Cheers Pratters. This sentiment will be put into the charter as the official description of Simon Katich.

Awesome thread, and enjoy that 14k Gegy.

Would like to go on record and say that alternative is also gun, worthy of his own appreciation society.

Couldn't have thought of a better way to bring up 14k, tbh.

Love him. Like the idea that he doesn't do any more than he has to. Just hits the ball to the boundary, no fuss.

Aight where do I sign up?

Knows his game, knows his role, knows what to do. What a guy.

Decent tweaker to boot.

Just need to express appreciation for the great man. Signature line saying you're a member purely optional, but would look great.

Kat's cover drive just then made me appreciate how good life is. Jizztastic.

Best designer stubble in world cricket.

Only competition is Zaheer, and he tends to let his get a bit long at times.

Yeah, wouldn't mess with Zaheers powerhouse facials () but he's more the ***y beardage type.

Yea one of the few guys in the Aussie team that I actually respect. A hardworking batsman who has made a technique to suit him. Would make a fine Australian captain, has a great cricketing mind.

 

[Precambrian]

I like him.

Haha, now let's not go nuts.

Myself, have been a fan since I saw him score 80-odd against SA in a domestic OD'er years and years ago. Defended him to the death for a long time here so glad to see he's doing well. Personally, I think he's a stylish player, just not in the same way as others. His cuts and drives are as good as anyone's I reckon.

Gee, he's looking good today too.

Never plays an innings without getting the front of his shirt dirty.

Katto has always been gun, just a shame that it took the world so long to realise it...

Including yourself, of course.
