Simon Katich’s incredible season, which includes a record 1506 Pura Cup runs at 94.12, continues as he pushes to match some of Don Bradman’s records in the Sydney grade competition. Jamie Pandaram, writing in the Sydney Morning Herald, looks at Katich’s numbers.
Katich has now tallied 569 runs at an average of 113.80 in grade cricket. If he scores 31 in this weekend's semi-final against Gordon, he will maintain an average of 100. Don Bradman was the last player to post better averages in state and grade cricket in the same season, scoring 1051 runs at 116.77 for NSW, and 549 runs at 109.80 for St George, in 1929-30.
