When Simon Katich walked into Kingsmead Stadium on Friday, he was swift to pull his mobile phone out to capture a monument to one of his fondest memories as a cricketer.
Former Australian cricketer Simon Katich praised Matthew Renshaw's disciplined innings of 190 at Kingsmead Oval during Australia's Test against South Africa.

Katich argued that Renshaw's old-school resilience exposed a major cop-out in modern batting philosophies like Bazball, specifically rejecting the fatalistic excuse that certain unplayable deliveries make dismissals inevitable. Katich also reflected on his own memorable Durban partnership with the late Phil Hughes in 2009.
