http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SM-Katich-c2543 hopeful of a good performance in the Champions League T20 - Cricket News Update
Discarded Australian Test cricketer and the captain of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
Katich was deprived of the central contracts issued by Cricket http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 (CA), which created a huge controversy in the world of cricket as the left-handed opener has been doing pretty well for Australia over the years. However, Katich has not lost hope and he wants to make a return to the national team by performing well for the NSWB and the CLT20 is the first step towards achieving this goal.
The left-hander is extremely confident that his team has the ability to outclass any big team of the event on a given day. He expressed that strong batting lineup and a number of bowling options are going to be the key for NSWB in the upcoming event. There are a number of other high profile teams in the competition but the left hander believes that the real challenge for his team will be to acclimatize to the hot weather of Chennai.
Katich said, "One of our strengths is flexibility with our batting and plenty of bowling options which is something you need in T20. We are confident that we have prepared as well as we possibly can but we also realise that there are many good teams in the competition and all that matters will be who is in good form. All our matches are in Chennai so it will be important we adjust to the wicket and the heat as quickly as possible."
NSWB has always been one of the strongest teams in the domestic circuit of Australia and have produced a number of legendary cricketers. However, they will not have the services of their two premier fast bowlers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DE-Bollinger-c1348, as both of them will be busy with the national team and Katich admits that it is going to be a huge setback for the Blues.
"Doug (Bollinger) and Brett (Lee) both played huge roles for us last time so they will be big losses,” the left-hander admitted.
