Simon Katich should not have been dropped, admits Cricket Australia - chairman - 10-24-2013
Cricket Australia has finally admitted that opener Simon Katich should not have been dropped from the Test side.
CA chairman Wally Edwards made the candid admission after Thursday's annual general meeting in Melbourne.
Edwards said selectors erred in dropping Katich two years ago, a controversial decision that continues to cause great angst in Australian cricket.
"There were a lot of decisions made that you probably wish in hindsight, they weren't made," Edwards said.
"But they were made in an attempt to move from a very strong side to a new side.
"I would put the dropping of Simon Katich in that corner ... they (selectors) didn't get it right."

Err thanks for that captain obvious. Yes, you did some seriously dumb shit. I mean WTF really, they could've used his experience well, but oh no. Now you have a totally unsettled test side.
