Cricket Australias New Contract List...No Katich

[no_remorse28]

Kat will once again go back to SS and score 1000 runs and bully the comp! and then stick it up Hilditch and bunch of jokes. Lets hope thre review being done flicks him and cleans CA out.

Hilditch keeps saying he is sticking around until he is forced out of the job, but is it contradictory when your forcing the hand of the ones who will force you ?

Fair call 54 & 115 would of been more appropriate i suppose

Or the use of a space bar LOL, don't worry, I'm a smartarse, that's what I do, you made sense.

[The Sleeping Giant]

CA don't think much of Ponting anymore.

Tough times ahead for the Aussie cricket team.

hauritz 1 mill what a joke.

[Media Park]

Hauritz's big pay day- will he get a game tho?

[valleys07]

:lol: hauritz 1 mill what a joke.

Agreed....1 Mill for that!

How does brett lee keep a spot but no kat, what an effing joke

He is clearly still our best one day/t20 bowler that our country has. Wish he would come out of retirement and play test cricket again cause we miss him greatly

[best on hill]

i cant believe they are paying 1.5million for mitchell johnson! no one in that squad is worth any more than 1 million a year

I think watson is deserved of his salary. Dont agree with the rest though.

I'm not a fan of his antics but I must say I was impressed with his recent returns.

David Hussey with a central contract and no Katich is rubbish, just shows that CA has there eyes on the T20 market only not bothered about tests, with 2928 runs at 50.48 since he was recalled to the Test team in 2008, has been not only Australia's most reliable batsman but among the most bankable in the world. In that time only Alastair Cook has scored more runs. . Age is a pathetic excuse, Its about performance at the top level witch Katich has not let as down in as of late. Katich was the glue to our top a lot more then Watson was, in no disrespect to Watson's efforts i mean this largely because of there different games, the combination is about the only working think we had at the moment, now that's gone are we to expect more team totals under 100 when the ball moves a tad, Hilditch is a joke and so is CA . . . . . . . end rant !

Katich and Watson seem to run each other out a bit. Maybe the selectors don't think they work well together???

Spot on, would still be one of my first picked.
Seems a huge coincidence that clarke becomes captain and katich finds himself out straight away!!
Maybe clarkey still holds a grudge for that choke hold kat put on him

One or the other, I just recall eating my words a bit, I didn't know they had wheelchair access to the ovals.

No Wild Thing ... WTF???

No Wild Thing ... WTF???

Referring to Tait, he retired from ODI's as well, atleast D Hussey is a fringe ODI player I spose, you dont need a minimum 160k a year to be a T20 player. So glad they didn't do that.
