Peter Lalor, writing in the Australian, speaks to Simon Katich about his brief Indian Premier League stint. He faced Glenn McGrath for the first time in a match, judged a talent contest and was reluctant to leave because he was having so much fun.

"There was a lot of hype with the tournament and the amount of money invested at the start," Katich said. "But in a way that has helped the intensity because everybody knows this was high stakes which put extra pressure on the performance.

"The other thing was that you always want to perform in front of big crowds and that spurs everybody on to play really good cricket.”
