ok ppl, junior waugh aint gonna last forever. who should repalce him? i reckon Simon Katich should get a chance, he is an absolute gun, and a proven leader, i wouldnt mind a bet on him being vice captain to Gilchrist in the near future....

what do u ppl think?
 
Hey SS11...
There is no doubt that Damien Martyn will be the next batsmen for Australia when one of the Waugh's retire.

"Collingwood forever"
 
I'd like to know where all this Katich hype comes from?

Absolute Gun mentioned here, batting prodigy in the paper, Australia A captain.

Why?

Recent First Class Stats

1999/2000 (WA) 328 runs @ 29.81
2000 (Durham) 1089 @ 43.56
2000/01 (WA) 710 @ 64.54

Not earth shattering stuff, especially failing in England this season where county cricket bowlers are hacks and even the most average Shield bastman can go over there and average 60 plus.

This while the likes of Symonds, Lehmann, Cox, Love, Mott, Hodge, Blewett, Fitzgerald etc, etc have better stats in the past few years.

And it's not like he's some raw kid either, he's 26 in a few months.

Why not Symonds, he can bowl a bit he showed last night. Not impressed at all with this Katcih character.
 
Personally I think Boof Lehmann should be next up for a spot. Was made to wait too long for a chance, and when he got it he did little wrong but was dropped. Sheer weight of runs must eventually get him back into the fold.

Of the untried players Katich will be next in line for sure. He has improved steadily since making his debut a few years ago, plays well in both forms of the game and is apparently quite astute as a tactician, hence his appointment as Australia A captain the other day.

The fact that Wendy the Galah disagrees, is enough to make me an even stronger supporter of Katich.
