The Katich incident was a loss to Australia, given that the other opener was a make shift opener. Now we see two inexperienced test openers. It will be very sad if there was a personal grudge in dropping Katich.
Hants are the beneficiaries and they have caught the right fish. They really needed another prolific batter in the side. Given his availability i think they will field him for all 16 games.
