A HOBBLING Simon Katich is in doubt for the third Test in Perth, which could expose young replacement Phillip Hughes to the English attack on a bouncing deck.

Michael Hussey offered to open the batting for Australia yesterday due to concerns over Katich's fitness.

Hughes's Test career stalled after England mercilessly and successfully targeted him with short balls during last year's first two Ashes Tests, but he has made technical gains since.

"Kato is obviously pretty sore . . . it doesn't look too good," teammate Mike Hussey said.

Katich refused to rest, hobbling through his 108-minute stay.

"It was an inspirational performance, really," Hussey said.
