Katich takes 3 as Australia win again

Interesting to see how Australia have bounced back since they lost to South Africa at home. In classic Australia style, despite having limited resources they've gone back to South Africa and taken a 2-0 lead.

When they were desperately trying to find a spinner in India, you may remember that I was agreeing with others who had put forward Simon Katich as a realitic "Michael Bevan style" spin option. Ponting and the Australian management clearly didn't agree then, but with no specialist spinners in the side Ponting has used Katich in the last Test and he took 3 wickets. Yes, only the lower order but nevertheless, he took 3 wickets.

As an Englishman expecting the Aussies over this summer, them getting their act together and understanding that Clarke and Katich can cover their spin requirements doesn't bode well.
