Back-to-back hundreds might not save Katich

Simon Katich is in danger of making history by being dropped following consecutive Test centuries, Alex Brown writes in the Age.
Percy McDonnell, in the 1880s, is believed to be the only batsman to be demoted immediately after posting hundreds in consecutive Tests, and that was because of a contractual dispute. Katich, however, could join him if, as expected, Matthew Hayden recovers from his achilles injury and resumes his place atop the order for Australia's tour of India in October.
After his century in the same innings in Barbados, Phil Jaques talks in the Sydney Morning Herald about the success of laser eye surgery.
