Good, sensible batting.
Some of the others should take note.

Katich once again stands up when the top 5 doesn't.
Typical that two New South Welshman rescue an Australian innings again.

Nasser made a good point last night (I know I was shocked aswell) He believes Katich should be batting higher up the order even look at putting him at 3 just in England. You would then have everyone slide down one position. This change would only be for England as the conditions suit Katich beautifully and I still believe he is being wasted at 6.

Totally agree
Think him batting at 4 would suit him better, Clarke would benefit from sliding down the order, and maybe even Marto.
At worst he has to bat at 5, 6 is just too low, he'd have to bat with the tail a lot of the time which is not ideal.

I would move Katich up to 5.
Clarke to 6.
Definitely wouldn't change anything else. It's a proven winning formula.

Let's look at the order, and their batting style.
Hayden - Aggressive
Langer - Not so aggressive
Ponting - Aggressive
Martyn - Not so aggressive
Clarke - Aggressive
Katich - Not so aggressive
Gillchrist - Aggressive
Alternates quite nicely if you ask me.
Partnerships are a massive thing in batting and i think that order means the guys batting together can most of the time compliment each other nicely.
Yes Katich would be better further up the order, but given the strength of the lineup, 6 is his spot.
just maybe

Langer - Not so aggressive
Are you still living in 2001? :confused:

Not in the same way that Hayden always looks to dominate the bowling.
Go start your own Lehmann thread if you don't like Katich. :)

Hayden - Aggressive
Langer - Not so aggressive
I would say these two are the other way around nowadays, although Hayden would be "Less Aggressive" instead of "Not so Aggressive"
