Hmmmmmmmm..... I don't think Bevan or Katich are no where near in the class of Thorpe and Vaughan at test match level. Bevan is a proven failiure at test match level due to his inability to cope with the short ball and Katich is very good against spin but the jury is still out as to whether he can play pace bowling. If his stints at Durham and Hampshire are anything to go by I would say he can't.
